one half is 6 twelfths and 7 twelfths is more than 6 twelfths
Three twelfths is equivalent to one fourth, and one half is also equivalent to two fourths. Therefore, one half is bigger than three twelfths.
1/2 over 1/12 = 12/2 = 6 there are 6 twelfths in a half.
No.
5/12 - 6/12 = -1/12
One 5/12 can go into 1/2.
1/2 = six twelfths That's bigger than one twelfth.
It would be 7/12. 1/2 --> 6/12 + 1/12 = 7/12
There are 24 halves in 12, so there must be 1/24 twelves in 1/21/24 = 0.04166Another Take:I may be misunderstanding the question. The above doesn't seem to work too well either. The question originally read: How many twelves are in one half? This did not seem to me to make sense so I changed it to: How many twelfths are in one half? I have noticed that students sometimes will not make a distinction between twelves and twelfths, five and fifths and so forth.The question is How many twelfths (or twelves) are in one half, and not how many halves are in 12. So I conclude that the questioner wants to know that 6 twelfths is equal to half.
6/12 = 1/2 One half of a circle is 180 degrees. One half of something else is something else.
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 1/2 + 7/12 = 1 1/12 or one and one twelfth.
1 sixth. 2 twelfths. 4 twenty fourths. 8........................... well you get the idea.
