Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve :
[tex]5 \frac{1}{4} - 1 \frac{1}{2} [/tex]
We change to improper fractions to get:
[tex] \frac{21}{4} - \frac{3}{2} [/tex]
We collect LCM to obtain:
[tex] \frac{21 - 6}{4} [/tex]
We subtract the numerator to get:
[tex] \frac{15}{4} [/tex]
We rewrite as improper fractions to get:
[tex]3 \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
