change 1/4 to twelfths = 3/12. Now you can subtract: 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12, which simplifies to 1/3.
It is: 2 and 1/8 subtract 1 and 7/8 = 1/4
You are mistaken here with the words you use. You don't say "subtracted by". So I will show you seven twelfths subtract one fourth. 7/12 - 1/4 multiply 1/4 by 3 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12 or = 1/3 divide by 3
They are called unlike fractions. To add or subtract them, you have to change them to forms that have the same denominator.Example: Add 1/3 and 3/41/3 x 4/4 = 4/12 equivalent fraction1/4 x 3/3 = 3/12 equivalent fraction4/12 + 3/12 = 7/12 and that is your answer1/3 + 1/4 = 7/12
7/12 - 1/4 Bring both fractions to the same denominator of '12', by multiply 1/4 by '3' ; top and bottom. Hence 7/12 - 3/12 Subtract the numerators(top) Hence 412 Reduce to its lowest terms, by cancelling down by '4' Hence 1/3. The answer!!!!!
== == 7/12 - 11/12 = -4/12 or -1/3.
First, you have to make the denominators the same. 7 4 --- - --- 12 12 Then, you subtract. 7 4 3 1 --- - --- = --- = --- 12 12 12 4
change 1/4 to twelfths = 3/12. Now you can subtract: 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12, which simplifies to 1/3.
It is: 7/12
to subtract (or add) fractions you need tohave a common denominator 7/12 - 1/3 = 7/12 - 4/12 = 3/12 = 1/4
1. Subtract 25 2. Then subtract 6 3. Then subtract 12 4. Then subtract 2 5. Then subtract 10 6. Then subtract 15 7. Then subtract 7 8. Then add 3 X 1/2 9. Then add 8
19/21 - 4/12 (4/12 = 1/3) = 12/21Convert the 1/3 into 7/21 and subtract.
5 7/12 - 3 5/6 = 4 19/12 - 3 10/12 = 1 9/12 = 1 3/4
1 whole and 7 over 12
It is: 2 and 1/8 subtract 1 and 7/8 = 1/4
13
3/4 minus 1/6 is 7/12
