Answer:
- 1 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
3/4 + -2 1/2
Get a common denominator of 4
3/4 - 2 1/2 *2/2
3/4 - 2 2/4
Rewriting
Subtracting since the signs are different and take the signs of the larger
2 2/4 - 3/4
Borrow from the 2
1 + 4/4 + 2/4 - 3/4
1 6/4 -3/4
1 3/4
The sign of the larger was negative ( 2 1/2)
- 1 3/4
