((-5/4) + (75/40) + 100%)
(-1.25) + (1.875) + (1)
.625 + (1)
1.625

However, if entered into a calculator you get 2.5, buy if you show your work and show that you converted the fractions to decimals your teacher should understand that as being the difference between your answer and the calculators.
