Answer: 5/12

Explanation:

Simplify 2/12 to 1/6

2/7 - 1/6

then u have to find the least common denominator and least common multiple

LCD = 12

Make the denominators the same as the LCD.

7/12 - 1/6 times 2

Simplify. Denominators are now the same.

7/12 - 2/12

Join the denominators.

7 - 2/12

Simplify

5/12
