Answer:
3/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluate b - -1/8 + c where b = 2 and c = -7/4:
b - (-1)/8 + c = 2 - (-1)/8 - 7/4
Put 2 + 1/8 - 7/4 over the common denominator 8. 2 + 1/8 - 7/4 = (8×2)/8 + 1/8 + (2 (-7))/8:
(8×2)/8 + 1/8 - (7×2)/8
8×2 = 16:
16/8 + 1/8 - (7×2)/8
2 (-7) = -14:
16/8 + 1/8 + (-14)/8
16/8 + 1/8 - 14/8 = (16 + 1 - 14)/8:
(16 + 1 - 14)/8
16 + 1 = 17:
(17 - 14)/8
