5=(5*4)/4=20/4
5-1/4= 20/4-1/4=19/4
the answer to 5/9 minus 1/4 is 11/36 :D!
Five and a quarter minus two and a quarter is equal to 5 1/4 - 2 1/4 = 3.
If it's "one minus quarter," it means you subtract a quarter of an hour from one o'clock. A quarter of an hour is 15 minutes, so one minus quarter would be 12:45. Therefore, the time is 12:45.
1/8 one eighth
Four and one half (4.5) minus one and one quarter (1.25) equals three and one quarter (3.25). To calculate this, you can convert both numbers to fractions: 4.5 is 9/2 and 1.25 is 5/4. Subtracting these gives you (9/2 - 5/4), which simplifies to 3.25.
To subtract one quarter from seven eighths, first convert one quarter to eighths. One quarter is equal to two eighths. Therefore, seven eighths minus two eighths equals five eighths. So, seven eighths minus one quarter equals five eighths.
(2/5) - (1/4) = (8/20) - (5/20) = 3/20
one twelveth
One and one fifth can be expressed as ( \frac{6}{5} ). To subtract one quarter, or ( \frac{1}{4} ), we need a common denominator, which is 20. Converting the fractions, we have ( \frac{6}{5} = \frac{24}{20} ) and ( \frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{20} ). Thus, ( \frac{24}{20} - \frac{5}{20} = \frac{19}{20} ). Therefore, one and one fifth minus one quarter equals ( \frac{19}{20} ).
The result of subtracting 5 from 1 quarter is -4.75.
