Here's your problem:

4 (1)/(2) - (3)/(4)
Now, we are going to convert
4 (1)/(2), what you are going to do is multiply the whole number times the denominator.
4 times 2 = 8 + 1 = 9 over the same denominator = 9/2
So:

(9)/(2)
- (3)/(4)

(15)/(4)
Answer:

3(3)/(4)

Good luck with your studies, I hope this helps~!
