five twelfths 1/6 = 2/12 7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
five twelfths
5/12Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, 1/3 + 1/12 = 5/12 or five twelfths.
Just get them all to a common base - 4 twelfths + 6 twelfths = 10 twelfths OR 5/6
1 whole = 2/21 whole - 1/2:= 2/2 - 1/2= 1/2
You change five sixths into ten twelfths and three quarters into nine twelfths. Then you subtract the nine twelfths from the ten twelfths, which equals one twelfth.
3/12 or 1/4
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
Two quarters minus two thirds is negative one sixth. Two quarters is six twelfths, and two thirds is eight twelfths. Six twelfths minus eight twelfths is minus two twelfths or minus one sixth.
Five-twelfths or 5/12
5/12 - 6/12 = -1/12
five twelfths 1/6 = 2/12 7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
seven twelfths
six twelfths
Two thirds minus one fourth is equal to five twelfths.
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 8 5/12 - 5 3/12 = 3 1/6 or three and one sixth.
One minus a sixth is five sixths.
