12 and 1 half minus 3 and 5 6ths = 8 2/3
5/6 - 1/8 / 1/2 = 5/6 - 1/4 = 10/12 = 3/12 = 7/12.
If you convert both numbers into 6ths it is easier to work out. 1 and 1/2 is 9/6ths and 2/3rds is 4/6ths. so, 9/6ths - 4/6ths = 5/6ths.
4/6ths plus 1/2 = 9/6ths or: 1 & 1/2
You have to find the common denominator for the fractions, so multiply the "half" (2) by the "thirds" (3). These two numbers multiplied with give 6 as a common denominator. Then multiply the 1 by the 3, which will give 3/6ths, and the 2 by the other 2, which will give 4/6ths. Hmmm! it seems that 4/6ths is greater than 3/6ths, so you have to add a whole to the 3/6ths to make a big enough fraction to subtract. Doing that will give you 9/6ths and you can subtract the 4/6ths. So the answer would be 5/6ths. Try it.
The answer is 7/8 minus 5/6 = 1/24
1in a half = 1/2
1 minus a half is a half.
Yes it is... one half = three sixths.
5/12 - 6/12 = -1/12
13 - 5 5/6 = 7 1/6 (seven and one sixth)
1 and 1 fifth = 6/5 = 12/10 1 half = 1/2 = 5/10 12/10 - 5/10 = 7/10
3/6 = 1/2 One half of 42 is 21.
