$$\frac { 9 } { 4 } + \frac { 1 } { 2 } - 1025$$

Evaluate

$$-\frac{4089}{4}=-1022.25$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. Convert \frac{9}{4} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{2}{4}-1025$$

Since \frac{9}{4} and \frac{2}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{9+2}{4}-1025$$

Add 9 and 2 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{4}-1025$$

Convert 1025 to fraction \frac{4100}{4}.

$$\frac{11}{4}-\frac{4100}{4}$$

Since \frac{11}{4} and \frac{4100}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{11-4100}{4}$$

Subtract 4100 from 11 to get -4089.

$$-\frac{4089}{4}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{4089}{4} = -1022\frac{1}{4} = -1022.25$$
