What is 4−1 1/4+1/2 ?
To simplify the expression 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2, we first need to convert the mixed number 1 1/4 into an improper fraction.

1 1/4 can be converted to an improper fraction by multiplying the whole number (1) by the denominator (4) and adding the numerator (1). This gives us:

1 1/4 = (1 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 5/4

Now we can rewrite the expression as:

4 - 5/4 + 1/2

To combine the fractions, find a common denominator for 4 and 2. The least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. So we need to rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 4:

4 = 4/1
5/4 = 5/4 * 1/1 = 5/4
1/2 = 1/2 * 2/2 = 2/4

Now we can rewrite the expression with the common denominator:

4/1 - 5/4 + 2/4

To add and subtract fractions, we should have the same denominator. Since the denominator is already the same, we can add and subtract the numerators directly:

(4 - 5 + 2) / 4 = 1/4

So the value of the expression 4 - 1 1/4 + 1/2 is 1/4.
