<em><u>The solution is:</u></em>

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{-15}{4} \text{ or } -3.75

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

We have to solve the given expression

<em><u>Given expression is:</u></em>

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6}

<em><u>Let us first convert the mixed fraction to improper fraction</u></em>

Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.

Add that to the numerator.

Then write the result on top of the denominator.

Thus we get,

2\frac{1}{12} = \frac{2 \times 12 + 1}{12} = \frac{25}{12}

5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{ 5 \times 6 +5}{6} = \frac{35}{6}

<em><u>Thus the given expression becomes,</u></em>

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{12} - \frac{35}{6}

Make the denominators same for easier calculations

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{12} - \frac{35 \times 2}{6 \times 2}\\\\2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{25}{12} - \frac{70}{12}\\\\2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{25-70}{12}\\\\2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} =\frac{-45}{12}

<em><u>Reducing to lowest terms, we get</u></em>

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{-15}{4}

<em><u>In decimal form, we get</u></em>

\rightarrow \frac{-15}{4} = -3.75

<em><u>Thus the solution is:</u></em>

2\frac{1}{12} - 5\frac{5}{6} = \frac{-15}{4} \text{ or } -3.75
