Answer:
-11/24
Step-by-step explanation:
Well to solve 5/12 - 7/8 we need to find the LCM.
12 - 12, 24, 36, 48
8 - 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
So the LCM is <u>24.</u>
Meaning we need to make both denominators 24.
12*2 = 24 5*2 = 10
<u>10/24</u>
8*3 = 24 7*3 = 21
<u>21/24</u>
<u />
10/24 - 21/24
= -11/24
<em>Thus,</em>
<em>the answer is -11/24.</em>
