Answer:

Fourth Option

Explanation:

In order to find the answer to this question you need to change the mixed number into a improper fraction and then add by finding the least common denominator (LCD).


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

Convert into improper fraction:


2(3)/(4) =4*2=8+3=11


-(3)/(4) +(11)/(4)

Since how the denominators are the same you can just add numerators:


-3+11=8


=(8)/(4)

Reduce:


8/4=2


4/4=1


=(2)/(1)


(2)/(1) =2

Hope this helps.
