Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Convert into improper fractions
Step 2: Find least common denominator and find equivalent fractions
Step 3 : Do the required operation
[tex]3\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{4}-1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{3}{2}\\[/tex]
Least common denominator of 2 , 4 = 4
[tex]=\frac{7*2}{2*2}+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{3*2}{2*2}\\\\=\frac{14}{4}+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{6}{4}\\\\=\frac{14+9-6}{4}\\\\=\frac{17}{4}\\\\=4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
