\[ \frac{5}{6} - \frac{7}{12} = \frac{1}{4} = 0.25 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{-7}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} - \frac{7}{12} &= \frac{5 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{-7 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + -7}{12} \\ &= \frac{3}{12} \\&= \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned} \]
