∑ Hey, abiellaisett ⊃

Answer:


-(1)/(4)

Explanation:

⇒ Given:

Add 3/4+(−2 1/2) using the number line.

Select the location on the number line to plot the sum.

Solution~:

First let's add.


(3)/(4)+-2(1)/(2)=\left[?\right]

Following PEMDAS orders of operation:

  • parenthesis
  • exponents
  • multiplication
  • division
  • addition
  • subtraction


(3)/(4)+\left(-2\right)(1)/(2)

Multiply:
\left(-2\right)(1)/(2):-1


=(3)/(4)-1

Subtract:
(3)/(4)-1


=-(1)/(4)

Look below for location on the number line~:
