Question

If you help out can you please explain it so I can understand?

Answer 1

Simplify just means put together everything into one big thing. In this case that is just adding. To add a fraction and a decimal we have to convert the fraction into a decimal as well. The decimal form of 1/4 is 0.25, and as such, 3/4 is .75. This means we have -0.75+1.5. Adding a positive to a negative is the same thing as simply subtracting the first number from the second, or 1.5-0.75. This is .75. The answer is C.
