yes please

Answer 3

First division, then multiply, then add or subtraction as you wish..

Answer 4

Step 1 :


Simplify \[-2+\frac{ 1 }{ 4 }\]
Add a fraction to a whole
Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 4 as the denominator :
\[2=\frac{ -2 }{ 1 }=\frac{ -2\times4 }{ 4 }\]
Equivalent fraction : The fraction looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Add up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

\[\frac{ -2\times4+1 }{ 4 }=\frac{ -7 }{ 4 }\]
Final result :

\[\frac{ -7 }{ 4 }\]
