What is 4−1 1/4+1/2 write as a mixed fraction
To write the expression 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2 as a mixed fraction, we need to perform the subtraction and addition first.
Step 1: Subtract 1 1/4 from 4:
4 - 1 1/4 = (4 * 4/4) - (1 * 4/4 + 1/4) = 16/4 - 4/4 - 1/4 = 11/4
Step 2: Add 1/2 to 11/4:
11/4 + 1/2 = (11/4 * 2/2) + 1/2 = 22/8 + 4/8 = 26/8
Now, we can simplify the fraction:
26/8 = 13/4
Therefore, the expression 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2 written as a mixed fraction is 13/4.
To find the mixed fraction of 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2, first convert 4 to a fraction with a common denominator of 4.
4 = 4/1
Now, subtract 1 1/4 from 4:
4/1 - 1 1/4 = 4/1 - (4/4 + 1/4) = 4/1 - 5/4
To combine the fractions, find a common denominator of 4:
4/1 - 5/4 = (16/4) - 5/4 = 11/4
Finally, write the mixed fraction:
11/4 = 2 and 3/4
Therefore, 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2 written as a mixed fraction is 2 and 3/4.
