Chapter 1: Problem 73

Perform the indicated operation. Where possible, reduce the answer to its lowest terms. $$\frac{7}{12}-\frac{5}{12}$$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The result of \(\frac{7}{12}-\frac{5}{12}\) simplified to its lowest terms is \(\frac{1}{6}\).

Step by step solution

01

Identify Similar Denominators

Notice that both fractions have 12 as a denominator.
02

Subtract Numerators

With similar denominators, fractions can be subtracted by subtracting the numerators. The calculation here is \(7-5\). The denominator remains the same.
03

Simplify Fraction

Simplify the resulting fraction which is \(\frac{2}{12}\). The numerator and the denominator have a common factor of 2, so we can reduce the fraction by dividing both by 2, results in \(\frac{1}{6}\).
