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
The sequence appears to be alternating between addition and subtraction operations. Starting with 7, we subtract 6 to get 1, then add 4 to get 5, subtract 8 to get -3, and then add 10 to get 7. Following this pattern, the next operation would be subtraction, so we subtract 12 from 7 to get -5. Therefore, the number that best completes the sequence is -5.
