(5 and 5/12) - (1 and 5/6) =
65/12 - 11/6 =
65/12 - 22/12 = 43/12 = 3 and 7/12
10/12 - 5/12 = 5/12Five sixths is ten twelfths. So ten twelfths subtract five twelfths is five twelfths.If you mean 5/6 minus 5/12 then it is the same as 10/12 minus 5/12 = 5/12
5/6 minus 7/12 is 1/4.
5 minus 5 sixths is 4 and one sixth.
5/6 - 1/4 = 10/12 -3/12 = 7/12
3 and 5 twelfths
Oneand one sixth is six sixths (one in total) plus one sixth - or seven sixths. So seven sixths minus 5 sixths is 2 sixths which can also be expressed as one third.
Oh, what a happy little math question we have here! To find the answer, we need to make sure we have a common denominator. Both fractions have the same denominator when it's 12, so we can subtract them easily. Four sixths minus three twelfths equals one twelfth. Just like painting, math can be a beautiful and calming experience when we take it step by step.
Six and one-sixth.
Ten twelfths equals five sixths.
Four and five twelfths is 53 twelfths, five and eleven twelfths is 71 twelfths so answer is "minus eighteen twelfths", ie -1½ or -1.5
it would equal 11 twelfths
You have to convert your fractions so that they are all the same. In this case, we can use sixths. So two and three sixths (two and a half), minus one and four sixths (one and two thirds), would equal five sixths. Another way to do it is to convert the whole numbers to sixths as well. Fifteen sixths minus ten sixths equals five sixths.
