What is the difference of the fractions? Use the number line and equivalent fractions to help find the answer. Negative 2 and one-half minus (negative 1 and three-fourths) A number line going from negative 3 to 0 in increments of One-fourth. a \large -4\frac{1}{4} b \large -\frac{3}{4} c -4 d \large -\frac{1}{2}

Answer :

Answer:

B)[tex]\frac{-3}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are supposed to find the difference of the fractions

a) [tex]-2\frac{1}{2}-(-1\frac{3}{4})[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{-5}{2}+\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Using equivalent fraction

[tex]-\frac{5}{2} \times \frac{2}{2} = \frac{-10}{4}\\\Rightarrow \frac{-10}{4}+\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

Plot both fractions on number lines

So Using number line

[tex]\frac{-10}{4}+\frac{7}{4}=\frac{-5}{2}+\frac{7}{4}=\frac{-3}{4}[/tex]

So, Option B is true
