set up the equation to look like this:
11 5
_ - _
12 6
When adding or subtracting fractions, always have common denominators.
The least common multiple of 6 and 12 in 12.
The first fraction is already in the least common multiple, but 6 is not.
So you must multiply both the denominator and the numerator of "5/6" by 2.
5/6 = 10/12
11 10 1
_ - _ = _
12 12 12
23/4 - 5/6 = 69/12 - 10/12 = 59/12 = 4 and 11/12
It is: 4/7 minus 5/12 = 13/84
Well, darling, 11 minus 5 is 6. Simple math, nothing to lose sleep over. Hope that clears things up for you, honey.
5/12 - 1/6 = 5/12 - 2/12 = 3/12 = 1/4
5/6 - 7/12 = 10/12 -7/12 = 3/12 = 1/4
It is: 12-5/12-1/12 = 11 and 1/2 or 11.5
1 and 9/12 minus 5/6 = 11/12
12 minus 11 1/6 is 5/6
9/11 − 5/12 = 53/132
11/12 − 1/2 = 5/12
-6/12 not in simplest form!
23/4 - 5/6 = 69/12 - 10/12 = 59/12 = 4 and 11/12
53/132
2 minus 5/6 = 11/6
10/11 − 5/11 = 5/11
5/12 minus 1/9 = 11/36 in its simplest form
1 and 5/6 minus 1/4 = 11/6 - 1/4 = 22/12 - 3/12 = 19/12 = 1 ans 7/12
