Answer 1

6

Explanation:

`(3)/(4) - (-5(1)/(4))`

-5 1/4 is a mixed fraction. so we convert it into improper fraction

`-5(1)/(4)=-(5*4 +1)/(4)=-(21)/(4)`

`(3)/(4) - (-(21)/(4))`

negative and negative becomes positive

`(3)/(4) +(21)/(4)`

Both fractions have same denominators. so we can combine the numerators

`(3+21)/(4)=(24)/(4)`

Divide the fraction

`(24)/(4)=6`
