Answer:

4 1/20

Explanation:

1 4/5 - (-2 1/4) You need the closing bracket.

1 4/5 + 2 1/4

Change to improper fractions.


(5*1 + 4)/(5) + (4*2+1)/(4)

9/5 + 9/4 Change so that both have the same denominator.


(9*4)/(5*4) + (9*5)/(4*5)

36/20 + 45/20

81/20 which believe it or not is an acceptable answer.

4 1/20 is another acceptable answer
