Question

Please help me out! <3

Answer 1

Answer:I think the answer is -1/3/4

Answer 2

Answer:

$-1 \frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this number line, we can plot our original number - $\frac{3}{4}$ (see picture attached)

Adding a negative is the same thing as subtracting - so we are subtracting $2\frac{1}{2}$ from  $\frac{3}{4}$.

To subtract this, we can break up $2\frac{1}{2}$  into 3 parts: 1, 1, and $\frac{1}{2}$. We can subtract each of these from the current number and see where we land up. (again see picture)

We land up at $-1 \frac{3}{4}$.

Hope this helped!
