Question

How do you solve -1/12 - (-11/12)

Friend is back in school and do not recall fractions that well.

Answer 1

-1/12 - (-11/12) would change into -1/12 + 11/12 because a double negative (bold print) would become a positive. The answer to the new problem would be 10/12 or 5/6 (depending on if it says to simplify).
