Answer:
(31)/(12)

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following expression:


4-2(2)/(3)+1(1)/(4)

As we can see, the second and the third term are mixed fractions, which are a combination of an integer and a fraction, and to convert it into an improper fraction and be able to solve the expression more easily, we must do the following:

Mixed fraction:
a(b)/(c)

Converting Mixed fraction to improper fraction:
((a)(c)+b)/(c)

So, for both mixed fractions we have:


2(2)/(3)=(8)/(3)


1(1)/(4)=(5)/(4)

Then the expression is rewritten as:


4-(8)/(3)+(5)/(4)

Calculating the least common multiple (l.c.m) with the denominators, being the l.c.m=12:


(48-32+15)/(12)

Solving:


(31)/(12)

Hence:


4-2(2)/(3)+1(1)/(4)=(31)/(12)
