Answer

Option C is correct.

-4 ½ + 3 ¼ = -1 ¼

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to solve the expression

-4 ½ + 3 ¼

To solve this, we first convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions

-4 ½ = -(9/2)

3 ¼ = (13/4)

We can then take the LCM by expressing both fractions to have the same denominatorr

-4 ½ = -(9/2) = -(18/4)

3 ¼ = (13/4)

-4 ½ + 3 ¼

= -(18/4) + (13/4)

= (-18 + 13)/4

= (-5/4)

= -1 ¼

Hope this Helps!!!
