what's 1/4 of 4?
subtract that to get ?
But it would be -15/4...i'm still a bit confused... wouldn't you divide?
@Steve
so it would be -15/4?
excuse me?
1/4 of 4 is 1
reduce 4 by 1:
4-1 = 3
The first clue you were off is the negative value. That's not a reasonable answer.
oh i thought you meant to subtract 1/4 and 4 sorry!
I still don't understand. Can u just tell me the answer please?
