7/12 - 1/4 = 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12 = 1/3.

You can do it, it's just unlikely that you'll get the right answer. Try it out. Subtract 1/4 from 1/3. The answer is 1/12 which is easier to find if you convert 1/4 to 3/12 and 1/3 to 4/12
1/4 - 1/3 Find common denominator: 3/12 - 4/12 Subtract: -1/12 The answer is -1/12 (negative one-twelfth) 1/3-1/4 Common denominator: 4/12-3/12 Answer: 1/12 Hope this helps:)
== == 7/12 - 11/12 = -4/12 or -1/3.
change 1/4 to twelfths = 3/12. Now you can subtract: 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12, which simplifies to 1/3.
Ignore the numerators and find the LCM of the denominators. Convert the fractions. Once the denominators are the same, subtract the numerators like any normal subtraction problem. 1/3 - 1/4 = 4/12 - 3/12 4/12 - 3/12 = 1/12 1/3 - 1/4 = 1/12
5/12 - 4/12 = 1/12
19/21 - 4/12 (4/12 = 1/3) = 12/21Convert the 1/3 into 7/21 and subtract.
It is: 7/12
Make sure the denominators are the same. Example: 1/3 - 1/4 4/12 - 3/12 = 1/12
First, you have to make the denominators the same. 7 4 --- - --- 12 12 Then, you subtract. 7 4 3 1 --- - --- = --- = --- 12 12 12 4
