5/12 - 6/12 = -1/12
One half is bigger.
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.
Two thirds minus one fourth is equal to five twelfths.
To subtract one fourth from seven twelfths, first convert one fourth to twelfths. One fourth is equivalent to three twelfths (1/4 = 3/12). Now, subtract: seven twelfths minus three twelfths equals four twelfths. This simplifies to one third (4/12 = 1/3).
one minus eleven twelfths = 1 - 11/12 = 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12
One half
One half is bigger.
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
five twelfths (5/12).
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.
Well, one half equals six twelfths. You figure it out from there.
Five-twelfths or 5/12
five twelfths 1/6 = 2/12 7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
