Hey there!

ORIGINAL QUESTION:

6/12 - 5/12 + 4/12 - 3/12 + 2/12 - 1/12

MAKE FRACTIONS IN SIMPLER TERMS

= 1/2 - 5/12 + 4/12 - 3/12 + 2/12 - 1/12

START SIMPLIFYING THE FRACTIONS

= 1/2 + 4/12 - 3/12 + 2/12 - 1/12

= 5/12 - 3/12 + 2/12 - 1/12

MAKE FRACTIONS SIMPLER

= 5/12 - 1/4 + 2/12 - 1/12

SIMPLIFY

= 1/6 + 1/6 - 1/12

GETTING CLOSER TO YOUR ANSWER

= 1/3 - 1/12

MET YOUR ANSWER

= 1/4

≈ 0.25

Therefore, your answer is: [1/4] (which decimal form is: 0.25)

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
