Answer:

Improper form: 17/12

Mixed number form: 1 5/12

Explanation:

Turn the fractions into improper fractions. Once you do that you get 31/12 - 7/ 6. Next, you find a common denominator which is in this case 12. To get 7/6 denominator to 12, multiply the numerator and denominator by 2. Once this is done, you get 31/12 - 14/12. Subtract to get 17/12 aka 1 5/12.
