Answer 2

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the data given in the question, we have to subtract the fractions:

Given fractions:-

$6\frac{1}{2}-1\frac{1}{4}$

As we see that, the above fraction is a mixed fraction:

So, we need to convert above mixed fraction into improper fraction:

By using the above steps:-

$=> \frac{13}{2}-\frac{5}{4}$

Now, we have to find the lowest common denominator:

$=> \frac{13\times 2}{2\times 2}+\frac{-5}{4}$

Multiplying the numbers we get:

$=>\frac{26}{4} +\frac{-5}{4}$

Now, combining the terms:

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

Hence, the simplified value is $\frac{21}{4}.$
