Question

$$4(\frac{1}{4})-1(\frac{3}{2})$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{1}{2}=-0.5$

Solution Steps

Cancel out $4$ and $4$.

$$1-1\times \frac{3}{2}$$

Multiply $1$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ to get $\frac{3}{2}$.

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

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{2}{2}$.

$$\frac{2}{2}-\frac{3}{2}$$

Since $\frac{2}{2}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{2-3}{2}$$

Subtract $3$ from $2$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{2}$$
