$\frac{1}{12}$

Work Step by Step

$1 - (\frac{5}{12} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{6})$ (Convert all numbers to have a denominator of 12) $= \frac{12}{12} - (\frac{5}{12} + \frac{4}{12} + \frac{2}{12})$ (Add the fractions in the brackets) $= \frac{12}{12} - \frac{11}{12}$ (Complete the subtraction) $= \frac{1}{12}$
