Question

2 3/4- (-1/4) Anyone have the answer ty

Answer 1

The answer should be 3.

Answer 2

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi,

To begin, we have one mixed number and one fraction. In order to solve, we have to turn the mixed number into an improper fraction.

2 3/4 as an improper fraction is 11/4. We know this because we multiply the denominator by the whole number which is 4 x 2 = 8 and then add the result to the numerator which is 8 + 3 = 11. The denominator stays the same.

So...

11/4 - (-1/4)

- (-) always turns into a +. So when subtracting a negative, take those two subtraction signs, cancel them out, and add instead.

11/4 + 1/4 = 12/4

We can add straight across since they have the same denominator.

12/4 = 3

I hope this helps :)
