The expression you provided is:

\[
\frac{8}{11} - \frac{1}{12}
\]

### To solve this:

1. **Find a common denominator**:
   The denominators are 11 and 12. The least common denominator (LCD) of 11 and 12 is the least common multiple (LCM) of 11 and 12, which is 132.

2. **Rewrite both fractions with the common denominator**:
   - For \(\frac{8}{11}\): Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 12:
     \[
     \frac{8}{11} = \frac{8 \times 12}{11 \times 12} = \frac{96}{132}
     \]
   - For \(\frac{1}{12}\): Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 11:
     \[
     \frac{1}{12} = \frac{1 \times 11}{12 \times 11} = \frac{11}{132}
     \]

3. **Subtract the fractions**:
   Now that both fractions have the same denominator, subtract the numerators:
   \[
   \frac{96}{132} - \frac{11}{132} = \frac{96 - 11}{132} = \frac{85}{132}
   \]

4. **Simplify the fraction**:
   The fraction \(\frac{85}{132}\) is already in its simplest form because 85 and 132 have no common factors other than 1.

Thus, the answer is:
\[
\frac{85}{132}
\]
