Question

What’s 1/4 - 12 = ? I need help pls

Answer 1

Answer:

-$\frac{47}{4}$

Explanation:

You can turn 12 (or any whole number) into a fraction by putting it over 1.

$\frac{1}{4}$ - $\frac{12}{1}$

Now we need to find the LCD of 4 and 1, which is 4. To make the denominator of $\frac{12}{1}$ 4, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.

$\frac{1}{4}$ - $\frac{48}{4}$

Now, subtract the numerators (top numbers).

$\frac{1}{4}$ - $\frac{48}{4}$ = -$\frac{47}{4}$
