Question

Simplify helllllppp please

Answer 1

The given expression is:
4 - 8 (3/4) + 1/4

To start, we will convert all the numbers to be having a denominator of 4 as follows:
4 is equivalent to 16/4
-8 (3/4) is equivalent to -24/4
1/4 already has 4 as a denominator

Now, the new expression became:
16/4 - 24/4 + 1/4

Since they all have a common denominator, the result can be computed by adding numerators as follows:
16/4 - 24/4 + 1/4
= (16-24+1) / 4
= -7/4

The correct choice is: 
A. -7/4
