Answer:
Hey doing-the-homework-at-the-last-minute-student!
Here's how you gotta do it:-
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Both the denominators should be same to be subtracted.
So, let's multiply [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] with 2 so that its denominator will be 12 as well.
[tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] x [tex]\frac{2}{2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex]
Now, lets subtract this with [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
While subtracting, you don't have to subtract the denominators. Only find the difference between the numerators- 10 and 5.
10-5 is 5.
So,
[tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex] is the answer!
