Answer:
3/4 - 2 1/2
(convert the mixed number to an improper fraction)
=3/4 - 5/2
(subtract the fraction)
= - 7/4
: - 7/4
alternate form:
- 1 3/4, - 1.75
Step-by-step explanation:
= 2 1/2
= (2 × 2 + 1)/2
= (4 + 1)/2
= 5/2
So:
= 3/4 – 2 1/2
= 3/4 – 5/2
= 3/4 – (5 × 2)/(2 × 2)
= 3/4 – 10/4
= -7/4
= -1 3/4 ✓
