Answer:


(a) \: - (1)/(2) + ( - (3)/(4)) \\ \\ - (1)/(2) - (3)/(4) \\ \\ - (2)/(4) - (3)/(4) \\ \\ - (2 - 3)/(4) = - ( 5)/(4) = - 1.25 = - 1 (1)/(4)

___o____o____


(b) \: 3 (1)/(8) + ( - (1)/(4) ) \\ \\ (25)/(8) + ( - (1)/(4) ) \\ \\ (25)/(8) - (1)/(4) \\ \\ (25)/(8) - (2)/(8) \\ \\ (25 - 2)/(8) = (23)/(8) = 2.875 = 2 (7)/(8)
