To find the value of the expression, we can follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS - Parentheses/Brackets, Order/Indices, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction):
1/2 - 3/4(11+5) + 1/4
First, solve the parentheses:
1/2 - 3/4 * 16 + 1/4
Next, perform the multiplication:
1/2 - (48/4) + 1/4
Simplify the fractions:
1/2 - 12 + 1/4
Now, add or subtract from left to right:
(1/2 - 12) + 1/4
Combine like terms:
(-23/2) + 1/4
To add or subtract fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 4:
(-23/2) + (1/4)
To make the fractions have a common denominator, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 2:
(-23/2)*(2/2) + 1/4
Simplifying:
(-46/4) + 1/4
Now that we have a common denominator, we can add the fractions:
(-46 + 1)/4
(-45/4)
So, the value of the original expression is -45/4.
Now, let's check which expression has the same value:
1/2 - (3/4 + 1/4) - 16 = 1/2 - (4/4) - 16 = 1/2 - 1 - 16 = (1/2 - 2 - 16) = -33/2 - 16 = -49/2
(1/2 + 1/4) - 33/4 + 5 = (2/4 + 1/4) - 33/4 + 20/4 = 3/4 - 33/4 + 20/4 = (-30/4) + 20/4 = -10/4
1/2 - 3/4 - 16 - 1/4 = -1/4 - 16 - 1/4 = -17/4 - 1/4 = -18/4
(1/2 + 1/4) - 12 = (2/4 + 1/4) - 12 = 3/4 - 12 = -45/4
Therefore, the expression (1/2 + 1/4) - 12 has the same value as the original expression.

1/2 - 3/4 - 16 - 1/4 = -1/4 - 16 - 1/4 = -17/4 - 1/4 = -18/4
(1/2 + 1/4) - 12 = (2/4 + 1/4) - 12 = 3/4 - 12 = -45/4
Therefore, the expression (1/2 + 1/4) - 12 has the same value as the original expression.
