options

a). -1 5/16
b). -3/7
c). 3/7
d). 1 5/16

Answer 1

d.)

Explanation:

Start with the brackets first.

(−1/4−1/2) = −1−2 ÷4 = −3/4

Hence we get:

−3/4÷(−4/7)

which is equal to

-3/4×(−7/4) −3/4×(−7/4) = 21/16

which then u convert 21/16 into a mixed fraction to get 1 5/16

Answer 2

1 5/16 (1 and 5/16)
