To subtract fractions, you need to have a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 12 since both fractions have denominators of 12.

Now let's subtract the fractions step by step:

9 5/12 - 4 2/3
First, convert the whole numbers to fractions:
9 = 9/1
4 = 4/1

9 5/12 - 4 2/3
Now, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
9 5/12 becomes (9 * 12 + 5)/12 = 113/12
4 2/3 becomes (4 * 3 + 2)/3 = 14/3

Now, we can subtract the fractions:
113/12 - 14/3

To subtract the fractions, we need to find the least common denominator (LCD) of the two fractions. The LCD of 12 and 3 is 12.

Now, let's convert the fractions to have a common denominator of 12:

(113/12) = (113/12) * (1/1) = (113/12)
(14/3) = (14/3) * (4/4) = (56/12)

Now that the two fractions have a common denominator, we can subtract them:

(113/12) - (56/12) = (113 - 56)/12 = 57/12

We can simplify this fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 3:

(57/3)/(12/3) = 19/4

So, the answer to the subtraction problem 9 5/12 - 4 2/3 is 19/4, which is equivalent to the mixed number 4 3/4.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D. 4 3/4.
