Question 86361: Evaluate if a=-3 b= 3/4 c=-1/2
c-a / b-c
Divided = / -1/2-(-3)=c-a
3/4-(-1/2)=b-c
-1/2+3=5/2
3/4+1/2=5/4
5/2/5/4 = 5/2.4/5
= 2

To evaluate the expression

%28c+-+a%29%2F%28b+-+c%29

Given the values +a+=+-3%2C+b+=+3%2F4+c+=+-1%2F2+

On substituting these values, we get:

%28%28%28-1%2F2%29+-+%28-3%29%29%2F%28%283%2F4%29+-+%28-%281%2F2%29%29%29%29

%28%28-1%2F2+%2B+3%29%2F%283%2F4+%2B+1%2F2%29%29

Taking LCM, we get:

%28%28%28-1+%2B+6%29%2F2%29%2F%28%283+%2B+2%29%2F4%29%29

%28%285%2F2%29%2F%285%2F4%29%29

--> %285%2F2%29+%2A+%284%2F5%29

==> 2

Hence, the solution.
