(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.
To subtract negative five twelfths from five sixths, first convert five sixths to twelfths. Five sixths is equal to ten twelfths. Now, subtract: (-\frac{5}{12} - \frac{10}{12} = -\frac{15}{12}). This simplifies to (-\frac{5}{4}) or (-1\frac{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
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.
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.
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
