Question

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

Evaluate

$-\frac{5}{4}=-1.25$

Solution Steps

Fraction $\frac{-3}{4}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{3}{4}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$-2-\left(-\frac{3}{4}\right)$$

The opposite of $-\frac{3}{4}$ is $\frac{3}{4}$.

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

Convert $-2$ to fraction $-\frac{8}{4}$.

$$-\frac{8}{4}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Since $-\frac{8}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{-8+3}{4}$$

Add $-8$ and $3$ to get $-5$.

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

Show Solution

Factor

$-\frac{5}{4} = -1\frac{1}{4} = -1.25$
