Reduce the fraction \frac{10}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 10.

$$\frac{1}{10}-4=12$$

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{40}{10}.

$$\frac{1}{10}-\frac{40}{10}=12$$

Since \frac{1}{10} and \frac{40}{10} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-40}{10}=12$$

Subtract 40 from 1 to get -39.

$$-\frac{39}{10}=12$$

Convert 12 to fraction \frac{120}{10}.

$$-\frac{39}{10}=\frac{120}{10}$$

Compare -\frac{39}{10} and \frac{120}{10}.

$$\text{false}$$
