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.
no, two thirds = eight twelfths, so nine twelfths is bigger.
We convert this to twelfths to give: 10 twelfths + 4 twelfths + 9 twelfths = 23 twelfths or 1 and 11 twelfths.
If we convert to the same denominators:Nine twelfths subtract six twelfths = Three twelfths.
