Oh, dude, like, I got you! So, one sixth is equal to two twelfths. It's like, basic math, you know? Just divide the denominator of the fraction you're converting by the denominator of the target fraction. Easy peasy!
Alright, darling, buckle up. To answer your question, two twelfths equal one sixth. It's like trying to fit two tiny puzzle pieces into one slightly bigger puzzle piece - simple math, really. Hope that clears things up for ya!
five twelfths
five twelfths 1/6 = 2/12 7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 3 and one sixth is equal to 3.16 recurring (that is, 3.16666..)
Just get them all to a common base - 4 twelfths + 6 twelfths = 10 twelfths OR 5/6
One sixth is not a whole number. Expressed as a decimal, it is equal to 0.16 recurring (that is, 0.16666..)
