Answer:

7

Explanation:

Let’s think about this like a number line.

If we have a number line with the ends of F and H, and G is somewhere in between, it would look something like this.

F———-G———H

We know that FH = 19 and that FG is 12.

This means that GH will be the FH - FG


19 - 12 = 7

So FG is 7.

Hope this helped!
