Start with a bit of simplification: 9/12 = 3/4, 2/8 = 1/4, 4/16 = 1/4 so you have 3/4 - 1/4 + 1/4 ie 3/4!
7 eighths = 14 sixteenths 14-3 = 11 so the answer is 11 sixteenths

3/8=0.38 5/12 = 0.42 0.38-0.42=-0.04
1 1/16 - 3/8 = 11/16, or eleven sixteenths.
Expressed in its simplest form, 5 3/16 - 2 3/8 = 2 13/16 or two and thirteen sixteenths.
Two quarters minus two thirds is negative one sixth. Two quarters is six twelfths, and two thirds is eight twelfths. Six twelfths minus eight twelfths is minus two twelfths or minus one sixth.
3 quarters is 9 twelfths, so 9 twelfths minus 3 twelfths is 6 twelfths, which is also a half.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
One third minus three sixteenths equals seven forty-eighths (1/3-3/16=16/48-9/48=7/48).
The answer is -5/16.The explanation for this answer is:To make this an easier question to solve, you should multiply 7/8 by 2/2, making it 14/16 (fourteen-sixteenths).Therefore, 9/16 (nine-sixteenths) - 14/16 (fourteen-sixteenths) = -5/16 (negative five-sixteenths)-5/16 cannot be simplified so it is the answer.
