-1 1/4 + (-2 1/2)
anyone ty

-3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have:

-1 1/4 + (-2 1/2)

Before solving this, lets just clean it up.

First off, since we know that a + and - sign equals a - sign, we can rewrite it as:

-1 1/4 - (2 1/2)

We need to also get a common denominator, which would be 4. The first fraction already has a denominator of 4, so it doesnt change. However, the second fraction is 1/2, and we need to multiply both sides by 2 to change the denominator from 2 to 4:

-1 1/4 - (2 2/4)

Now lets solve:

I will do the fraction seperate from the whole number to make it simpler:

-1 - 2

A negative subtracted makes it a larger negative so:

-3

-1/4 - 2/4

Again, a negative subtracted makes it a larger negative:

-3/4

Now recombine the numbers:

-3 3/4

So this is your answer.

Hope this helps!
