Answer:
6
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\frac{3}{4} - (-5\frac{1}{4})[/tex]
-5 1/4 is a mixed fraction. so we convert it into improper fraction
[tex] -5\frac{1}{4}=-\frac{5*4 +1}{4}=-\frac{21}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{3}{4} - (-\frac{21}{4})[/tex]
negative and negative becomes positive
[tex]\frac{3}{4} +\frac{21}{4}[/tex]
Both fractions have same denominators. so we can combine the numerators
[tex]\frac{3+21}{4}=\frac{24}{4}[/tex]
Divide the fraction
[tex]\frac{24}{4}=6[/tex]
