11/12- 5-6 =

Q: 11/12- 5-6 =

To solve the expression $ \frac{11}{12} - 5 - 6 $, we can follow these steps: 1. Convert whole numbers to fractions with a common denominator to easily subtract them. The common denominator here is 12, since $5$ and $6$ can be converted to fractions with a denominator of $12$. This is done to ensure all terms are in like terms (fractions that can be directly subtracted or added). 2. Convert $5$ and $6$ to fractions with a denominator of $12$: - $5 = \frac{5 \times 12}{12} = \frac{60}{12}$ - $6 = \frac{6 \times 12}{12} = \frac{72}{12}$ 3. Substitute these values back into the equation: - $ \frac{11}{12} - \frac{60}{12} - \frac{72}{12} $ 4. Now subtract the fractions: - $ \frac{11 - 60 - 72}{12} $ - $ \frac{11 - 132}{12} $ - $ \frac{-121}{12} $ Therefore, $ \frac{11}{12} - 5 - 6 = \frac{-121}{12} $.

To solve the expression $ \frac{11}{12} - 5 - 6 $, we can follow these steps:

1. Convert whole numbers to fractions with a common denominator to easily subtract them. The common denominator here is 12, since $5$ and $6$ can be converted to fractions with a denominator of $12$. This is done to ensure all terms are in like terms (fractions that can be directly subtracted or added).

2. Convert $5$ and $6$ to fractions with a denominator of $12$:
   - $5 = \frac{5 \times 12}{12} = \frac{60}{12}$
   - $6 = \frac{6 \times 12}{12} = \frac{72}{12}$

3. Substitute these values back into the equation:
   - $ \frac{11}{12} - \frac{60}{12} - \frac{72}{12} $

4. Now subtract the fractions:
   - $ \frac{11 - 60 - 72}{12} $
   - $ \frac{11 - 132}{12} $
   - $ \frac{-121}{12} $

Therefore, $ \frac{11}{12} - 5 - 6 = \frac{-121}{12} $.
