Answer:

Because you will be easier to solve it in simplest form

Step-by-step explanation:

To explain : Why is it necessary to rename 4 1/4 if we subtract 3/4 from it?

Solution :

First,

Lets turn 4 1/4 into a fraction:

4 1/4 = 17/4.

Now lets subtract 3/4 from it:

17/4 - 3/4 = 14/4.

So 14/4 becomes 3 2/4.

And now we see why is it necessary to rename 4 1/4.
