Answer:
11 and one-fourth
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expression can be rewritten as:
[tex](8+\frac{1}{2}) -2+(4+\frac{3}{4})[/tex]
1/2 can be written as 2/4.
Solving the expression grouping integers and fractions:
[tex](8+\frac{2}{4}) -2+(4+\frac{3}{4}) =\\8+4-2+(\frac{2}{4}+\frac{3}{4}) =\\10+\frac{5}{4}=\\ 11+\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, the value of the given expression is 11 and one-fourth.
