=> 5/12 - 3/8
So we multiply 5 by 8, and get 40.
Then we multiply 3 by 12, and get 36.
Next we give both terms new denominators -- 12 × 8 = 96.
So now our fractions look like this:
=> 40/96 - 36/96
Since our denominators match,
we can , subtract the numerators.
=> 40 − 36 = 4
So the answer is: 4/96
To find out, we try dividing it by 2...
=> 4/96 ÷ 2 = 2/48
Let Try to Divide By 2 Again
=> 2/48 ÷ 2 = 1/24
Therefore,
=> 5/12 - 3/8 = 1/24
