subtract 7\\frac{1}{4}-4\\frac{3}{4}. simplify the answer and write as a mixed number.\n12\n2\\frac{1}{2}\n3\\frac{1}{2}\n\\frac{1}{4}

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions

$7\frac{1}{4}=\frac{7\times4 + 1}{4}=\frac{29}{4}$ and $4\frac{3}{4}=\frac{4\times4+3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}$

Step2: Subtract the improper - fractions

$\frac{29}{4}-\frac{19}{4}=\frac{29 - 19}{4}=\frac{10}{4}$

Step3: Simplify the fraction and convert to mixed number

$\frac{10}{4}=\frac{5}{2}=2\frac{1}{2}$

Answer:

$2\frac{1}{2}$
