Question

$$\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } + \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } - \frac{ 1 }{ 1 }$$

Evaluate

$-\frac{1}{4}=-0.25$

Solution Steps

Divide $1$ by $1$ to get $1$.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}-1$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $2$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}-1$$

Since $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{2}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+2}{4}-1$$

Add $1$ and $2$ to get $3$.

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

Convert $1$ to fraction $\frac{4}{4}$.

$$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{4}$$

Since $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{4}{4}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3-4}{4}$$

Subtract $4$ from $3$ to get $-1$.

$$-\frac{1}{4}$$

Factor

$-\frac{1}{4} = -0.25$
