To subtract fractions, the denominators (bottom numbers) must be equal; so first convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. Then the numerators (top numbers) are subtracted and the resulting fraction simplified (if necessary):
1/4 - 11/16 = (1×4)/(4×4) - 11/16 = 4/16 - 11/16 = (4-11)/16 = -7/16

Minus one (also known as negative one) is larger than minus eleven (also known as negative eleven).

11/16
one minus eleven twelfths = 1 - 11/12 = 12/12 - 11/12 = 1/12
The answer is eleven thirty-sixths.
1 1/16 - 3/8 = 11/16, or eleven sixteenths.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.

Minus one (also known as negative one) is larger than minus eleven (also known as negative eleven).
one fourth is bigger, and it is bigger by one sixteenth.
