Question

What is 7/12 minus 4/12

Answer 1

The answer for 7/12-4/12 is 1/4!

Answer 2

Because these two fractions already have a common denominator (12=12), all we need to do to solve this problem is subtract the numerators.

7-4=3.  Therefore, because there is a common denominator and that doesn't change, 7/12 - 4/12 = 3/12
