Calculating the difference of $9 \frac{1}{4}\ and \ 4 \frac{1}{2}$  dividing the value by $3 \frac{1}{4}$

$\to 4 \frac{1}{2} - 9 \frac{1}{4}\\\\ \to \frac{9}{2} - \frac{37}{4}\\\\ \to \frac{18-37}{4} \\\\ \to -\frac{19}{4}\\\\\to -\frac{19}{4} \div \frac{13}{4}= -\frac{19}{4} \times \frac{4}{13} = -\frac{19}{13}$
