7/12 - 1/6 = 7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
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.
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).
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.

seven 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).
3/12 or 1/4
7/12 minus 1/3 is 1/4.
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 fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
Oneand one sixth is six sixths (one in total) plus one sixth - or seven sixths. So seven sixths minus 5 sixths is 2 sixths which can also be expressed as one third.
