You get -9/4. 1/2 divided by 2= 1/4. Then 1/4 times 2 which equals 2. Then 1/4+4. So 1/4 +4/1, you have to turn 4/1 to 16/4 because you need the same denominator to add fractions. 1/4+16/4 equals 17/4. Then you turn 2/1 to 8/4 to subtract the two fractions. So now you have 8/4-17/4 which equals -9/4.

Answer:

A) -9/4

Explanation:

The answer ends up becoming -2.25.

So if you do the math, that's -9/4. or add up 4 until you're at 9.

4, 8. Now we know we have 2 whole. What's left? 1/4.

So now we have, -2 1/4. or "-9/4".
