Yes, your answer is correct!

Here's the step-by-step solution to verify your answer:

4 2/3 - 2 1/12

= (4 * 3 + 2)/3 - (2 * 12 + 1)/12 (convert mixed numbers to improper fractions)

= 14/3 - 25/12

= (14 * 4)/3*4 - 25*3/12*3 (find a common denominator of 12)

= 56/12 - 75/12

= -19/12

Now, we need to convert the improper fraction -19/12 back to a mixed number:

-19/12 = -1 7/12

Therefore, 4 2/3 - 2 1/12 = 2 7/12 as you have correctly answered.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ........ I I I actually did it ... with... no help... i feel acomplished.
Correct, but what a convoluting long process.
Here is how I do it:

4 2/3 - 2 1/12
= 14/3 - 25/12
= 56/12 - 25/12
= 31/12 <------ good answer
or
2 7/12 if you have the need to express it that way
