Qᴜᴇꜱᴛɪᴏɴ:-

Find the value of 5/12 - 7/8

ᴀɴꜱᴡᴇʀ:-

5/12 - 7/8

We should take the LCM of 12 and 8.

The LCM we get is 24.

Then we should make the denomiator equal to 24.

Then it becomes:-

10/24 - 21/24

-11/24 is the final answer

Answer 2

$\huge\fcolorbox{cyan}{pink}{ANSWER-:}$

$LCM of 12 and 8 is 24$

$5/12 = 5 × 2/12 × 2 = 1024$

$7/8 = 7 × 3/8 × 3 = 21/24$

$10/24 + 21/24 = 10 + 21/24 = 31/24$

$So, 5/12 + 7/8 = 31/24$
