Question

C minus 1¼ > -2½ what is the inequality

Answer 1

c - 1 1/4 > -2 1/2

c > 1 1/4 - 2 1/2


1 1/4 to improper fraction = (4*1 + 1)/4 = 5/4

2 1/2 to improper fraction = (2*2 + 1)/4 = 5/2

c > 1 1/4 - 2 1/2

c > 5/4 - 5/2 5/2 = (5*2)/(2*2) = 10/4

c > 5/4 - 10/4

c > (5 - 10)/4

c > -5/4

Hope this helps.
