Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

✦ Turn fractions into decimals:


  • (3)/(4) =0.75

  • -(1)/(2) =-0.5
  • (We will do something different for
    (1)/(3) and
    (1)/(6).)

✦ Divide:


  • (1)/(3) ÷
    (1)/(6)=2
  • (Since the denominators are multiplies of each other we can divide them without having to change them into decimals.)

✦ Simplified Equation:


  • 0.75+2-(-0.5)

✦ Add:


  • 0.75+2=2.75

✦ Subtract:


  • 2.75-(-0.5)=3.25
  • (Subtraction rule is if there is 2 negatives next to each other in a problem it turns into a positive.)

✦ So your answer would be:


  • (13)/(4) (Exact Form)

  • 3~ (1)/(4) (Mixed Number Form)

  • 3.25 (Decimal Form)
