seven twelfths
To subtract one fourth from seven twelfths, first convert one fourth to twelfths. One fourth is equivalent to three twelfths (1/4 = 3/12). Now, subtract: seven twelfths minus three twelfths equals four twelfths. This simplifies to one third (4/12 = 1/3).
seven twelfths
4/12 - 2/9 = 1/9 or one ninth.
7/12 minus 1/3 is 1/4.
seven ninths
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
127/12 - 51/9 = 151/12 - 46/9 = 453/36 - 184/36 = 269/36 = 717/36
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.
