Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{25}{4} or \: 6 \frac{1}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$11 \frac{1}{2} - 5 \frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{2 \times 11 + 1}{2} - \frac{4 \times 5 + 1}{4}$

$\frac{23}{2} - \frac{21}{4}$

$\frac{23 \times 2}{2 \times 2} - \frac{21 \times 1}{4 \times 1}$

$\frac{46}{4} - \frac{21}{4}$

$\frac{25}{4} or \: 6 \frac{1}{4}$
