To find the additive inverse of a fraction, we flip the fraction and change the sign.
The additive inverse of -12/2/3 is -(2/3)/(12/1). Simplifying, we have -2/3 * 1/12 = -2/36.
The additive inverse of -8/5/6 is -(5/6)/(8/1). Simplifying, we have -5/6 * 1/8 = -5/48.
Now, we can subtract the two fractions.
-2/36 - (-5/48)
To subtract the fractions, we need to get a common denominator, which is 36.
-2/36 + 5/36 = 3/36.
Simplifying, we have 1/12.
Therefore, the answer is 1/12 as a mixed number.
