One sixth.
Twelve minus five sixths can be calculated by first converting twelve into a fraction. This gives us (12 = \frac{72}{6}). Then, subtracting five sixths from this, we have (\frac{72}{6} - \frac{5}{6} = \frac{67}{6}). Therefore, twelve minus five sixths equals (\frac{67}{6}) or 11 and (\frac{1}{6}).
what is four sixths of twelve One sixth of twelve is two, since 2 x 6 = 12. So four sixths of twelve would be 8. Five sixths of twelve would be 10.

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.
It is: -1/3
Two minus 4/6 is 1 1/3.
Two minus 5/6 is 1 1/6
