Question

4 and 1/2 - by 1 and 1/4 equals?

Answer 1

Answer:

7          

 — = 1.75000

 4          

Step-by-step explanation:

Step  1  :

           1

Simplify   —

           4

Equation at the end of step  1  :

      1          1

 (4 • —) -  (1 • —)

      2          4

Step  2  :

           1

Simplify   —

           2

Equation at the end of step  2  :

      1     1

 (4 • —) -  —

      2     4

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 4

    2 =  —  =  —————

         1       4  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

2 • 4 - (1)     7

———————————  =  —

     4          4

Final result :

 7          

 — = 1.75000

 4
