Answer:

6/12 or 1/2

Explanation:

Since 11/12 and 5/12 have the same denominator (12), I didn't need to worry about anything pertaining to it. And because I didn't need to do anything that had to do with the denominator (12), I just did 11-5 (6), and made it 6/12, which is equivalent to 1/2. Hope this helped!
