Question

Simplify 4$\frac{3}{4}$ - 2$\frac{1}{2}$

• A. 1$\frac{1}{4}$
• B. 1$\frac{3}{4}$
• C. 2$\frac{1}{4}$
• D. 2$\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C 2$\frac{1}{4}$

In order to simplify the given sum we have to change the whole fractions into simple fractions.

$\frac{19}{4}-\frac{5}{2}$

$\frac{19}{4}-\frac{(5\times 2)}{(2\times 2)}$

$\frac{19}{4}-\frac{10}{4}=\frac{9}{4}$

$=2$ whole $\frac{1}{4}$

So option A is the correct answer!
