Start with a bit of simplification: 9/12 = 3/4, 2/8 = 1/4, 4/16 = 1/4 so you have 3/4 - 1/4 + 1/4 ie 3/4!
7 eighths = 14 sixteenths 14-3 = 11 so the answer is 11 sixteenths
2 over 24.

3/8=0.38 5/12 = 0.42 0.38-0.42=-0.04
1 1/16 - 3/8 = 11/16, or eleven sixteenths.
Expressed in its simplest form, 5 3/16 - 2 3/8 = 2 13/16 or two and thirteen sixteenths.
Two quarters minus two thirds is negative one sixth. Two quarters is six twelfths, and two thirds is eight twelfths. Six twelfths minus eight twelfths is minus two twelfths or minus one sixth.
3 quarters is 9 twelfths, so 9 twelfths minus 3 twelfths is 6 twelfths, which is also a half.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
seven sixteenths
three sixteenths
