Question

What is 1 and 1/4 minus 5/12

Answer 1

5/6! Because....1 1/4 can be converted to 5/4 so then the equation would be 5/4-5/12 but when your subtracting the numbers HAVE to have the same denominator and the LCM of 4 and 12 is 12 so then the equation would be 15/12 (because when you change the denominator you also have to multiply the LCM divided by the number which would be 3 times 5) so anyyywwwaaaayyy the equation would be 15/12-5/12=10/12 which can be simplified to 5/6!!!!!!!!! And there u have it!

Answer 2

One and one-fourth equals to 5 over 4
5/4 times 3/3 equals to 15/12
subtract 5/12 from 15/12
the answer is 10/12
simplest form is 5/6
