Answer:

1/3

Explanation:

For the 1st fraction, since 4 × 3 = 12,

3 /4 = 3 × 3/ 4 × 3 = 9/ 12

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, since 12 × 1 = 12,

5 /12 = 5 × 1 /12 × 1 = 5 /12

Subtract the two fractions: 9 /12 - 5 /12 = 9 - 5 /12 = 4 /12

So next you simplify the answer how many 4 go in 4 and how many go in 12 the simplified answer is the answer is 1/3

Hope this helps
