Verified Answer :

\(\frac{1}{2} - \frac{5}{12}\)
Make the denominators equal - Make 2 = 12
\(2 * 6 = 12\)
Multiply the fraction \(\frac{1}{2}\) by 6
\(1 * 6 = 6\)
\(2 * 6 = 12\)
Put together your new fraction, keep the right the same because denominator is already 12 (same)
\(\frac{6}{12} - \frac{5}{12}\)
Subtract the numerators
\(\frac{1}{12}\)

\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}- \frac{5}{12} =? \\ \\ \\ {\frac{1}{2}}^{(6}- \frac{5}{12} \\ \\ \\ \frac{6}{12}- \frac{5}{12} \\ \\ \\ \frac{1}{12}\)
