Can you help me find the answer please

the answer is 1 / 12 I got this because I know that 1/2 equals a half so half of 12 is 6 so 6/12 is simply 1/2
Answer:
[tex]x=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the unknown number be [tex]x[/tex].
The given equation then becomes;
[tex]\frac{5}{12} +x=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Group similar terms
[tex]x=\frac{1}{2}-\frac{5}{12}[/tex]
Collect the LCM on the Right Hand Side.
[tex]x=\frac{6-5}{12}[/tex]
This implies that;
[tex]x=\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
