15/24 OR 5/8 (Simplification)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find a common factor for the denominator. In this case, it would be easier for it to be 24. 3/8 is equivalent to 9/24, 1/6 is equivalent to 4/24, and 5/12 is equivalent to 10/24. Now, you solve. 9/24-4/24+10/24=15/24. It can even be simplified as 5/8.
