Solve 1-3/4-2=

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

Evaluate

$$-\frac{7}{4}=-1.75$$

Solution Steps

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

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

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

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

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

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$\frac{1}{4}-\frac{8}{4}$$

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{8}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{1-8}{4}$$

Subtract 8 from 1 to get -7.

$$-\frac{7}{4}$$

Factor

$$-\frac{7}{4} = -1\frac{3}{4} = -1.75$$
