I always hated these questions in Algebra. But they're pretty simple, if you can make the two parts more equal. Since Twelfths and Fourths are different, you have to get them to be the same. It's easier to convert 4ths to 12ths, since Four Goes Into 12 Three times - so ONE FOURTH is the same as THREE TWELFTHS, right? That's the tricky part, right there - being able to see the relationship between FOURTHs and TWELFTHs.
So 7/12ths plus 3/12ths is 10/12ths, right? Which is the same as 5/6ths. The first answerer didn't tell you HOW he got the answer, so you were no better off in case it came up again.

What is three fourths minus one sixth?
seven twelfths
What is one fourth plus two sixths?
seven twelfths.
What is eleven twelfths minus one fourths?
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
What does three twelfths the plus three fourths equal?
To add three twelfths to three fourths, we first need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple of 12 and 4 is 12. Converting three fourths to nine twelfths, we can now add three twelfths to nine twelfths to get twelve twelfths, which simplifies to one whole. Therefore, three twelfths plus three fourths equals one whole.
What is one half plus two thirds plus three fourths?
1/2 = 6/122/3 = 8/123/4 = 9/12 (generally called quarters not fourths)(6+8+9)/1223/12one and eleven twelfths, or twenty-three twelfths
What is three fourths minus one sixth?
seven twelfths
What is one fourth plus two sixths?
seven twelfths.
What is one fourth plus three eights plus five twelfths?
First we convert to the same type, which is twenty-fourths: 6 twenty-fourths + 9 twenty-fourths + 10 twenty-fourths = 25 twenty-fourths or 1 and 1 twenty-fourth.
What is one and seven twelfths plus two thirds?
two and one-fourth
What is eleven twelfths minus one fourths?
One fourth is three twelfths. So eleven twelfths minus three twelfths is eight twelfths, which is also two thirds.
What is one half plus two thirds plus three fourths?
1/2 = 6/122/3 = 8/123/4 = 9/12 (generally called quarters not fourths)(6+8+9)/1223/12one and eleven twelfths, or twenty-three twelfths
What is four and one fourths plus three and two fourths?
7.75 OR 7 3/4 OR seven and three-fourths
Is 3 fourths or 9 twelfths bigger?
They are one and the same !
What is seven and one third plus five and eleven twelfths in simplest form?
Eight and one fourth.
What is one eighth add six twelfths?
the answer is fifteen twenty-fourths
What is larger seven twelfths or one half?
There are six twelfths in one half.Seven twelfths is more than six twelfths.Therefore seven twelfths is larger than one half.
Two and one-third plus one and one-fourth?
3 and seven twelfths. just think of a clock.
