a number
one half is 6 twelfths and 7 twelfths is more than 6 twelfths
Seven twelfths (7/12) is greater than one half (1/2). To compare them, you can convert one half to twelfths, which is six twelfths (6/12). Since 7/12 is greater than 6/12, seven twelfths is the larger fraction.
One Half.6/12 isequivalentto one half so: 3/12<1/2 (Is Less Than)
1/2 over 1/12 = 12/2 = 6 there are 6 twelfths in a half.
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.
No, one half (1/2) is not equal to seven twelfths (7/12). To compare the two fractions, you can convert them to have a common denominator or decimal form. One half is equivalent to 6 twelfths (6/12), which is less than seven twelfths. Therefore, 1/2 < 7/12.
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
Half (1/2) is equivalent to 6/12 when expressed with a common denominator. Five twelfths (5/12) is smaller than 6/12. Therefore, half is bigger than five twelfths.
