\[ \frac{5}{12} - \frac{1}{10} = \frac{19}{60} = 0.31\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{12}\) and \(\frac{-1}{10}\) is \(60\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{12} - \frac{1}{10} &= \frac{5 \cdot 5}{12 \cdot 5} + \frac{-1 \cdot 6}{10 \cdot 6} \\ &= \frac{25 + -6}{60} \\ &= \frac{19}{60} \end{aligned} \]
