Answer:

$7.25 \: units$

Explanation:

$d \bigg(5 (1)/(2), \: \: - 1 (3)/(4) \bigg) \\ \\ = d \bigg( (11)/(2), \: \: - (7)/(4) \bigg) \\ \\ = d \bigg( (22)/(4), \: \: - (7)/(4) \bigg) \\ \\ = (22)/(4) - \bigg( - (7)/(4) \bigg) \\ \\ = (22)/(4) + (7)/(4) \\ \\ = (22 + 7)/(4) \\ \\ = (29)/(4) \\ \\ = 7. 25\: units$
