To convert fifths to twelfths, we need to find a common denominator for both fractions. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 12 is 60. One fifth is equivalent to 12 twelfths, so to make one fifth, you would need 12 twelfths.

Oh, what a happy little question! To make one fifth, you would need to combine 3 out of 12 twelfths. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, sometimes we need to mix different colors together to create something new and wonderful.
If you subtract 8532 twelfths from 712 you will get one whole.
No, 1/5 is a fair amount smaller than 5/12
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.
Two 10th equals one fifth: 2/10 = 1/5
There are six twelfths in one half.Seven twelfths is more than six twelfths.Therefore seven twelfths is larger than one half.
