choose the fraction that makes the statement true. 1\\frac{2}{4}-? is less than 1. 1/4 2/4 3/4

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed - number to improper fraction

$1\frac{2}{4}=\frac{4\times1 + 2}{4}=\frac{6}{4}$

Step2: Subtract each option and check the result

For $\frac{1}{4}$: $\frac{6}{4}-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{6 - 1}{4}=\frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}>1$ For $\frac{2}{4}$: $\frac{6}{4}-\frac{2}{4}=\frac{6 - 2}{4}=1$ For $\frac{3}{4}$: $\frac{6}{4}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{6 - 3}{4}=\frac{3}{4}<1$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$
