Answer 1

-3/4 aka C hope this helped

Answer 2

Work:

first you want to change 1/2 so the denominator is a 4

1/2 is equivalent to 2/4

now you have -1 1/4 + 2/4

then you want to get rid of the whole number and make -1 1/4 into a fraction

-1 is -4/4 so add that to the 1/4

now you have -5/4 + 2/4

you can add that now easily and get -3/4
