What is the value of 4 1/2 - 2 3/4

1 3/4

Step-by-step explanation: First, convert 4 1/2 and 2 3/4 to have like denominators.

4 1/2 = 4 2/4 because 1 x 2 = 2 and 2 x 2 = 4 = 2/4

2 3/4 stays the same.

Now, subtract 4 2/4 - 2 3/4             (4 x 4 = 16 + 2 = 18) and (2 x 4 = 8 + 3 = 11)

18/4 - 11/4 = 7/4 or 1 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

ez

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
