To first find the answer to this, let's find a common denominator between each fraction. The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction.
To find the common denominator, let's factor out each of our denominators 5 times to see if they have a common number.
4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20
2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10
They both appear to have the smallest common denominator of 4, so let's use 4.
We already have 1/4 with a denominator of 4, but not 1/2.
2 x 2 = 4, so multiply the numerator and the denominator of 1/2 by 2.
1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
Your new fraction is 2/4.
Our expression now is:
-2 1/4 + 5 2/4
or (in simpler terms)
5 2/4 - 2 1/4
Subtract the fractions first.
2/4 - 1/4 = 1/4
Now subtract the whole numbers.
5 - 2 = 3
You are left with:
3 1/4
I hope this helps!

Answer: 2 and 1/4 cups of oats (9/4 cups of oats)
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that, for the recipe, we need 3/4 cups of oats.
Now, you want to triple the recipe (then you need to use 3 times more ingredients).
This means that, if for the recipe you needed 3/4 cups of oats, when we triple that we have:
3*(3/4 cups) = 9/4 cups
This means that you need to use 9/4 cups of oats.
And we could also write this as:
9/4 cups = 8/4 cups + 1/4 cups = 2 + 1/4 cups of oats.

Simplifica fracciones:
7/14 = 1/2
Dale a las fracciones un denominador común.
El mínimo común múltiplo de 2 y 8 es 8.
1/2 = 4/8
comparar los numeradores de las fracciones
4/8 < 5/8
5/8 > 7/14
