Answer 1

The value of −12+(−121/4)−1/4 is -13/2 (option B).

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of −12+(−121/4)−1/4 is equal to -13/2 (option B). Here is the step-by-step explanation:

-12+(−121/4)−1/4 = -12 + (-121/4) - 1/4

To add or subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 1 is 4.

-12 + (-121/4) - 1/4 = -12 - (121/4) - (1/4)

Now, we can combine the numerators:

-12 - (121/4) - (1/4) = -12 - 121 - 1 / 4

Simplify the numerator:

-12 - 121 - 1 = - 134

The final answer is -134/4, which simplifies to -67/2 or -13/2.
