Question

chip is a robot that follows commands to move on a number line. for each set of commands, help chip find its new location. command 4: start at \\(\frac{1}{4}\\). move \\(\frac{1}{12}\\) to the left. new command 4: start at \\(\frac{3}{12}\\). move \\(\frac{1}{12}\\) to the left. complete the equation to show chips new location. \\(\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{3}{12} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{?}{?}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Convert to common denominator

$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}$

Step2: Subtract the movement

$\frac{3}{12} - \frac{1}{12} = \frac{2}{12}$

Answer:

$\frac{2}{12}$ (or simplified as $\frac{1}{6}$)
