Question :-

`\sf12 (1)/(2) - ( - 4 (1)/(2) ) = \boxed{ ? }`

____________________

Solution :-

Given Information :-

• Fraction 1 ➢
  `\sf12 (1)/(2)`
• Fraction 2 ➢
  `\sf -4 (1)/(2)`
• Operation ➢ Subtraction

To Find :-

• The difference between two fractions

Calculation :-

`\sf: \implies \sf12 (1)/(2) - ( - 4 (1)/(2) ) = \boxed{ ? }`

Firstly, converting mixed fractions to improper fractions, We get,

`\sf: \implies (25)/(2) - ( - (9)/(2) ) = \boxed?`

Now, solving the parentheses, We get,

`\sf: \implies (25)/(2) + (9)/(2) = \boxed ?`

Since, We have like terms, We will directly add up the two fractions, We get,

`\sf: \implies (25 + 9)/(2) = \boxed?`

Calculating further, We get,

`\sf: \implies (34)/(2) = \boxed?`

Bringing the fraction to it's lowest terms, We get,

`\sf: \implies \frac{ \cancel{34} \: \: \tiny{7}}{ \cancel2} = \boxed7`

`\sf :\implies \sf12 (1)/(2) - ( - 4 (1)/(2) ) = \red{ \boxed{ \bf7 }}`

Final Answer :-

• 
  `\sf \sf12 (1)/(2) - ( - 4 (1)/(2) ) = \red{ \boxed{\bf7 }}`
