Solve 3/2/frac{4{2}}+-1/4

$$\frac{ \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } }{ \frac{ 4 }{ 2 } } +- \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{2}=0.5$$

Solution Steps

Divide \frac{3}{2} by \frac{4}{2} by multiplying \frac{3}{2} by the reciprocal of \frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{3\times 2}{2\times 4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Cancel out 2 in both numerator and denominator.

$$\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{3-1}{4}$$

Subtract 1 from 3 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2} = 0.5$$
