six twelfths
You change five sixths into ten twelfths and three quarters into nine twelfths. Then you subtract the nine twelfths from the ten twelfths, which equals one twelfth.
10/12 - 5/12 = 5/12Five sixths is ten twelfths. So ten twelfths subtract five twelfths is five twelfths.If you mean 5/6 minus 5/12 then it is the same as 10/12 minus 5/12 = 5/12
nine twelfths eight twelfths ........ down to .........one twelfth
Ten twelfths = 5/6
-2 1/3 minus -10 1/6 equals 7 5/6
