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).
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.
Yes, five sixths is bigger than four twelfths (simplified: one third).
5/12 - 6/12 = -1/12
six twelfths
Two and one third divided by five and five twelfths = 28/65
five twelfths
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).
7/12 minus 1/3 is 1/4.
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.
five twelfths
3/12 or 1/4
Expressed as a mixed number in its simplest form, 5 1/3 - 2 11/12 = 2 5/12 or two and five twelfths.
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.
