Answer 2

hmm

Answer 3

So it would be 8 1/2 - 2+4 + 3/4
And there may be ''()'' but idk!

Answer 4

\[8\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }-2+4\frac{ 3 }{ 4 }\]

you can re-write this as

8 + (1/2) - 2 + 4 + (3/4)

adding up the whole #'s ---> 8 - 2 + 4 = 10
then the fractions: (1/2) + (3/4) ---> 1/2 is equal to 2/4, so this becomes (2/4) + (3/4) = (5/4)

right now we have 10 + (5/4). 5/4 can be split into 4/4 + 1/4, which is 1 + 1/4, so in total we have

10 + 1 + (1/4) = 11 and 1/4
