Solution

We have:
$\frac{5}{8} + \frac{3}{4} - \frac{7}{12} 2 4, 8, 12 2 2, 4, 6 2 1, 2, 3 3 1, 1, 3 1, 1, 1 L . C . M . of 4, 8 and 12 = (2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3) = 24 = \frac{(15 + 18 - 14)}{24} \{[24 \div 8 = 3, 3 \times 5 = 15], [24 \div 4 = 6, 6 \times 3 = 18] and [24 \div 12 = 2, 2 \times 7 = 14]\} = \frac{(33 - 14)}{24} = \frac{19}{24}$
