Question

what is the difference of the whole number and the fraction below 4 - 1/4 A. 3 1/2 B. 3 1/4 c. 3 3/4 D. 4 1/2

Answer 1

The answer is C.

4 - 1/4 is going to be 3 3/4

You would first turn 4 into a fraction, which is going to be 4/1.

Now, because the denominators don’t match, you’re going to multiply the top and bottom of 4/1 by 4.

4/1 times 4/4 equals 16/4

Now you can subtract 1/4 from 4/1

16/4-1/4=15/4

Divide 15 by 4 to get your answer of 3 3/4.
