Answer:

22/24-18/24

Explanation:

Convert each low number to the factor
1/3 * 4 = 4/12 which has the same denomanator as 7/12
And the same for 1/2 * 4 = 4/8 which has the same denominator as 2/8
Then you add both with both,
Next you convert both of them to the same denominator and the closest number will be 24 then yousubtract and voila.
