The numbers 5 and 12 are coprime: that is, their only common factor is 1. Therefore, the fraction 5/12 is in its simplest (or lowest) form.
5 over 2
The way to figure this out is to convert the whole number into a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction being subtracted. Let's do this one. 1 - (5/12) = (12/12) - (5/12) = At this point, you have 12 over 12 minus 5 over 12, and to work a fraction like that where you have a common denominator, you can take the numerators and subtract them and put the result over 12. It will look like this: (12 - 5) / 12 = 7/12 That 7/12 is your answer. You don't even have to reduce it.
It is: 5/12 of 12 = 5
equivalent fraction of 2/12 = 1/6, 3/18, 4/24/ 5/30, 6/36
2 and 5 over 12 as improper fraction = 29/12 2 and 5/12 = 2 + 5/12 = 24/12 + 5/12 = 29/12 in improper fraction
Divide 12 by 5 to change the fraction 12 over 5 to decimal form. 12/5 = 2.4.
12/5 is equivalent to 24/10
29 over 12 2x12+5 over 12
5 over 8 as a fraction plus 7 over 12 = 15/24
The simplified fraction of 12 over 20 is 3/5
5 over 12 is a bigger fraction.
no
5/12 = 0.4166... recurring.
Now why do you suppose we say "over" in that description ? Could it be because the fraction has the '5' written 'over' the '12', with a horizontal bar between them ?
No.
the fraction is 12 over 15:)
