Question

What is the value of(-* - ) =( 4 )?-1516-516

Answer 1

Option B is correct.

`-1(5)/(16)`

Step-by-step explanation

To answer this, we will first deal with the value in the first bracket by taking LCM

`\begin{gathered} (-(1)/(4)-(1)/(2)) \\ =(-1-2)/(4) \\ =(-3)/(4) \end{gathered}`

Then to solve the part with division, we know that the division involving fractions are solved by changing the division sign into multiplication sign and the fraction after the sign changes to its reciprocal or its inverse.

`\begin{gathered} (-(3)/(4))/(4)/(7) \\ =-(3)/(4)*(7)/(4) \\ =-(21)/(16) \\ =-1(5)/(16) \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
