Ah, what a lovely question! In a quarter, there are 3 twelfths. Just like painting a beautiful landscape, it's all about breaking things down into smaller, manageable parts. Keep up the great work, my friend!
Three-twelfths is equal to one quarter. Three-ninths is equal to one third. One third of anything is a greater quantity than one quarter of anything, therefore, "Three-ninths" is the larger of the two.
Three twelfths is equal to one fourth, which is equal to two eights.
We will convert this problem into twelfths. One and two thirds is equal to 20/12. Two and one quarter is equal to 27/12. If we subtract the latter from the former, we get negative 7/12.
Four twelfths is one third, or about 0.333.
