HELP ASAP PLEASE (25 POINTS) Solve and reduce if possible. 5/12 − 7/8 = ?

-11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12 - 7/8

We need to get a common denominator of 24

5/12 *2/2  - 7/8 *3/3

10/24 - 21/24

-11/24

-11/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Well to solve 5/12 - 7/8 we need to find the LCM.

12 - 12, 24, 36, 48

8 - 8, 16, 24, 32, 40

So the LCM is 24.

Meaning we need to make both denominators 24.

12*2 = 24 5*2 = 10

10/24

8*3 = 24 7*3 = 21

21/24

10/24 - 21/24

= -11/24

Thus,

the answer is -11/24.

Hope this helps :)
