Answer:
-[tex]\frac{47}{4}[/tex]
Explanation:
You can turn 12 (or any whole number) into a fraction by putting it over 1.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex]
Now we need to find the LCD of 4 and 1, which is 4. To make the denominator of [tex]\frac{12}{1}[/tex] 4, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator by 4.
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{48}{4}[/tex]
Now, subtract the numerators (top numbers).
[tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{48}{4}[/tex] = -[tex]\frac{47}{4}[/tex]
