Answer:

3.25 or 3 1/4

Explanation:

Remove the parentheses first: 3/4 + (1/3 / 1/6) - (-1/2)

1/3 / 1/6 turns into 1/3 * 6

Reduce the numbers:

3/4 + (1/3 * 6) + 1/2

cross multiplication, 6 divided by 3 = 2.

So the new equation is 3/4 + 2 + 1/2

Then you calculate.

3/4 + 2 + 1/2 = 13/4

13/4 reduced is 3 1/4 or 3.25
