Firstly it is easiest if you convert them into full fractions (with no whole numbers on the side so the fraction is top heavy)
4 x 12 = 48
7 + 48 = 56
So 4 and 7 twelves is equal to 56 twelves
Similarly we can work out 3 and 11 twelves
3 x 12 = 36
11 + 36 = 47
So this is equal to 47 twelves
Because the denominator is the same, you can simply subtract the nominator:
So you have 56 twelves subtract 47 twelves
56 - 47 = 9. so the answer is 9 twelvles.
This can then be simplified by dividing by three to get,
The answer is 3/4 (three quarters).Josh Twelves is 4' 11".
three fourths
1/4
3/4 ÷ 3/12 = 3
3/12 = 1/4
Eleven (not elevin) twelfths (not twelves) minus (not minise) one fourth is 11/12 - 1/4 = 11/12 - 3/4 = 8/12 which simplifies to 2/3.
(3 * 12) - (4 * 10) = 36 - 40 = -40 + 36 = -(40 - 36) = -4 It may make it easier for you to do it this way: Subtract the smaller number from the biggest (40 - 36 = 4) Keep the sign of the bigger number (-4)
9/12 = 3/4 or three quarters.
3/12 = 1/4 so 6
28 ÷ 4 x 3 - 10 = 11
-7 -11 -15 You subtract 4 each time
3/4 - 11/2 = 3/4-3/2 = 3/4 - 6/4 = -3/4
