Olsen · Answer 1

In order to subtract two fractions, they need to have a common denominator which would be 12, so you need to change all the denominators to 12.

7/12 is still 7/12

1/6 is multiplied by 2/2 to become 2/12.

Then you can subtract.

7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12

So the simplest form would be 5/12
