Solve 4/1+1/4-4/1

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{1}{4}=0.25$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

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

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

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

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

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

Add 16 and 1 to get 17.

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

Anything divided by one gives itself.

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

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

$$\frac{17}{4}-\frac{16}{4}$$

Since \frac{17}{4} and \frac{16}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{17-16}{4}$$

Subtract 16 from 17 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{1}{2 ^ {2}} = 0.25$$
