Question

What is -5 1/2 - 4 1/4 + 6 3/4=​

Answer 1

-3

Explanation:

`-5(1)/(2)` -
`4(1)/(4)` + 6
`(3)/(4)`

Writing the equation in improper function we get;

`-(11)/(2)` -
`(17)/(4)` +
`(27)/(4)` =
`(-22 - 17 + 27)/(4) = (-12)/(4) = -3`

Answer 2

-3

Explanation:

Given that:

`-5(1)/(2)-4(1)/(4)+6(3)/(4)`

Converting in to a proper fraction, we get:

`-(11)/(2)-(17)/(4)+(27)/(4)`

Multiplying and dividing the first fraction by two to make the fraction consistent.

=>
`-(11*2)/(2*2)-(17)/(4)+(27)/(4)`

=>
`-(22)/(4)-(17)/(4)+(27)/(4)`

=>
`(-22-17+27)/(4)`

=>
`-(12)/(4)`

=> -3

Therefore, the final solution is -3.
