Solve 5-(3/4-1)*1

$$5-( \frac{ 3 }{ 4 } -1) \times 1$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{21}{4}=5.25$$

Solution Steps

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

$$5-\left(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{4}{4}\right)\times 1$$

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

$$5-\frac{3-4}{4}\times 1$$

Subtract 4 from 3 to get -1.

$$5-\left(-\frac{1}{4}\right)$$

The opposite of -\frac{1}{4} is \frac{1}{4}.

$$5+\frac{1}{4}$$

Convert 5 to fraction \frac{20}{4}.

$$\frac{20}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{20}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{20+1}{4}$$

Add 20 and 1 to get 21.

$$\frac{21}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 \cdot 7}{2 ^ {2}} = 5\frac{1}{4} = 5.25$$
