Question

C minus 1¼ > -2½ what is the inequality

Answer 1

C - 1  1/4 > -2  1/2

c > 1  1/4  - 2  1/2


1  1/4 to improper fraction = (4*1 + 1)/4 = 5/4    

2  1/2 to improper fraction = (2*2 + 1)/4 = 5/2

c > 1  1/4  - 2  1/2

c > 5/4  - 5/2                                5/2 = (5*2)/(2*2) = 10/4

c > 5/4  - 10/4

 c > (5  - 10)/4 

 c > -5/4 

Hope this helps.
