Answer
$\frac{1}{6}$
Work Step by Step
$\frac{7}{12} - \frac{5}{12}$
The difference of two fractions with same denominators is the difference of their numerators over the common denominator.
$\frac{7-5}{12}$ = $\frac{2}{12}$
Since 2 is the greatest common factor of 2 and 12, divide numerator and denominator by 2
$\frac{1*2}{6*2}$ = $\frac{1}{6}$
