Well, let's take a moment to appreciate the beauty of these fractions. To find the answer, we need to make sure they have a common denominator. Once we do that, we can subtract the numerators to get the result. Remember, there are no mistakes in math, just happy little accidents.
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.

three eighths over five twelfths is three eights divided by five twelfths which is: 3/8 ÷ 5/12 = 3/8 x 12/5 = 9/10
Three twelfths is equal to one fourth, which is equal to two eights.
three eighths
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
11/12 plus 3/8 = 31/24
To find out how many twelfths equal six eighths, first simplify six eighths. Six eighths can be simplified to three fourths. Since three fourths is equivalent to nine twelfths, six eighths equals nine twelfths. Therefore, nine twelfths equal six eighths.
3/8=0.38 5/12 = 0.42 0.38-0.42=-0.04
3 2/3 minus 11/12 is 2 3/4 or 2.75

Three eighths
three eighths over five twelfths is three eights divided by five twelfths which is: 3/8 ÷ 5/12 = 3/8 x 12/5 = 9/10
Three twelfths is equal to one fourth, which is equal to two eights.
Four minus two and three-eighths equals one and five-eighths.
Converting to twelfths gives 9 twelfths minus 8 twelfths which is 1 twelfth.
Two and three-eighths
