Solve 1/4+4-1=

$$\frac { 1 } { 4 } + 4 - 1 =$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{13}{4}=3.25$$

Solution Steps

Convert 4 to fraction \frac{16}{4}.

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{16}{4}-1$$

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{16}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+16}{4}-1$$

Add 1 and 16 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{4}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

$$\frac{17}{4}-\frac{4}{4}$$

Since \frac{17}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-4}{4}$$

Subtract 4 from 17 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{13}{2 ^ {2}} = 3\frac{1}{4} = 3.25$$
