Use a number line to add 5/4 + (-2/4).

=___
On a number line, we start at 5/4 and move a distance of 2/4 in the negative direction.

Starting at 5/4, we move 2/4 to the left. Since the denominator is 4, each whole is divided into 4 equal parts.

-1 0 1 2 3 4 5

5/4 - 2/4 = 3/4

So, 5/4 + (-2/4) = 3/4.
