Answer 1

Hi there! The answer is option 4 -- 0.75
$- 5 \frac{1}{4} + (9.75 + - 2.25) \div 1 \frac{1}{4} =$
First work out the parentheses.

$- 5 \frac{1}{4} + 7.50 \div 1 \frac{1}{4} =$
Now divide.

$- 5 \frac{1}{4} + 6 =$
Add up.

$\frac{3}{4} = 0.75$
The fourth option is correct.

Answer 2

-5.25+7.5/1.25=- 5.25+6=0.75
