5/12 - 3/12
As both fractions already have a common denominator (bottom numbers), we can jump to the next step which is subtracting the numerators (top numbers)
5/12 - 3/12 = 2/12 = 1/6
While 2/12 is technically correct, we should always reduce our answers to their lowest form.
5 7/12 - 3 5/6 = 4 19/12 - 3 10/12 = 1 9/12 = 1 3/4
5/12 of 36 = 5/12*36 = 5*36/12 = 5*3 = 15
3 5/8 + 5/12 is 4 1/24.
We convert the fractions to twelfths: 1 + 8 twelfths + 9 twelfths. 1 + 17 twelfths 2 and 5 twelfths.

5/3 is the same as 20/12
5 7/12 - 3 5/6 = 4 19/12 - 3 10/12 = 1 9/12 = 1 3/4
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
5 - 4 3/12 = 9/12 or 3/4
5/12 of 36 = 5/12*36 = 5*36/12 = 5*3 = 15
3 5/8 + 5/12 is 4 1/24.
Four and five twelfths is 53 twelfths, five and eleven twelfths is 71 twelfths so answer is "minus eighteen twelfths", ie -1½ or -1.5
9/12
5/12 = 0.4166... recurring.
Reduced, this would equal 8 3/6 (8 and 3 sixths).
