To compare three-fifths (3/5) and five-twelfths (5/12), we can convert them to a common denominator or convert them to decimal form. Three-fifths is equal to 0.6, while five-twelfths is approximately 0.4167. Therefore, three-fifths is bigger than five-twelfths.
No
5/8 is bigger
3/5 - 5/12 = 36/60 - 25/60 = 11/60
Yes, five sixths is bigger than four twelfths (simplified: one third).
One half is bigger.
no
No
5/8 is bigger
3/5 - 5/12 = 36/60 - 25/60 = 11/60
Yes, five sixths is bigger than four twelfths (simplified: one third).
The second is bigger.
One half is bigger.
Half (1/2) is equivalent to 6/12 when expressed with a common denominator. Five twelfths (5/12) is smaller than 6/12. Therefore, half is bigger than five twelfths.
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.
35/24 or thirty five, twenty fourths
Five twos = 10 is bigger.
three eighths over five twelfths is three eights divided by five twelfths which is: 3/8 ÷ 5/12 = 3/8 x 12/5 = 9/10
