Answer 2

Answer:

5/48

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Subtract (1/12) from (3/16)

=> (3/16) - (1/12)

LCM of 12,16 = 48

For the first fraction, since 16 * 3 = 48

(3/16) = (3 * 3/16 * 3) = 9/48

Likewise, for the 2nd fraction, 12 * 4 = 48

(1/12) = (1 * 4)/(12 * 4) = 4/48

Now,

Subtract the two fractions,

(9/48) - (4/48) = (5/48)
