No 3/12 is not equivalent to 1/6
To add eight twelfths and one sixth, first convert one sixth to twelfths: one sixth equals two twelfths. Now, add eight twelfths and two twelfths together: (8/12 + 2/12 = 10/12). This can be simplified to five sixths. Thus, eight twelfths plus one sixth equals five sixths.
One sixth.
one half
No, they are the same.
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.
seven twelfths
Two twelfths (2/12) is also known as one sixth (1/6). To make the number appear larger, another answer is three eighteenths.
To add eight twelfths and one sixth, first convert one sixth to twelfths: one sixth equals two twelfths. Now, add eight twelfths and two twelfths together: (8/12 + 2/12 = 10/12). This can be simplified to five sixths. Thus, eight twelfths plus one sixth equals five sixths.
Yes. Two twelfths equal one sixth, so it follows.
two twelfths
one half
One sixth.
No, they are the same.
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.
one sixth
Yes, one sixth is equal to two twelfths. This is because when you simplify two twelfths (2/12), it reduces to one sixth (1/6) by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2. Thus, 1/6 = 2/12.
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 8 5/12 - 5 3/12 = 3 1/6 or three and one sixth.
