Question

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

Evaluate

$\frac{7}{4}=1.75$

Solution Steps

The opposite of $-\frac{1}{4}$ is $\frac{1}{4}$.

$$\frac{3}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $4$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{3}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{6}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Since $\frac{6}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+1}{4}$$

Add $6$ and $1$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{4}$$

Factor

$\frac{7}{2 ^ {2}} = 1\frac{3}{4} = 1.75$
