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.
Eight twelfths would reduce to 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.

Three-fourths.
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.
No. 5/12 is in simplest form.
If we convert to the same denominators:Nine twelfths subtract six twelfths = Three twelfths.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
No. Two and three fourths is equal to thirty-two twelfths.
Two twelfths is equal to one sixth, and is thus lesser than two sixths.
One and seven twelfths cannot be reduced.
