Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

2/3 - 5/12

first denominators must be equal to do math with them, find the lowest common denominator and change numerator according to changed denominator

8/12 - 5/12 = 3/12

for simplest form divide by number that fits both numerator and denominator, which in this case is 3

3/12 divided by 3/1

= 1/4
