The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \( 2\frac{3}{7} - 2\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{1}{4} + 1\frac{1}{28} = ? \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1. \( 2\frac{3}{7} = \frac{2 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{14 + 3}{7} = \frac{17}{7} \) 2. \( 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{8 + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \) 3. \( 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \) 4. \( 1\frac{1}{28} = \frac{1 \times 28 + 1}{28} = \frac{28 + 1}{28} = \frac{29}{28} \) Now, we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{17}{7} - \frac{9}{4} - \frac{5}{4} + \frac{29}{28} \] ### Step 2: Combine Like Terms Next, we will combine the fractions. To do this, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 7, 4, and 28 is 28. 1. Convert \( \frac{17}{7} \) to have a denominator of 28: \[ \frac{17}{7} = \frac{17 \times 4}{7 \times 4} = \frac{68}{28} \] 2. Convert \( \frac{9}{4} \) to have a denominator of 28: \[ \frac{9}{4} = \frac{9 \times 7}{4 \times 7} = \frac{63}{28} \] 3. Convert \( \frac{5}{4} \) to have a denominator of 28: \[ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 7}{4 \times 7} = \frac{35}{28} \] Now we can rewrite the equation: \[ \frac{68}{28} - \frac{63}{28} - \frac{35}{28} + \frac{29}{28} \] ### Step 3: Perform the Operations Now we can combine the fractions: \[ \frac{68 - 63 - 35 + 29}{28} = \frac{68 - 63 = 5}{28} - \frac{35}{28} + \frac{29}{28} \] \[ = \frac{5 - 35 + 29}{28} = \frac{-30 + 29}{28} = \frac{-1}{28} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value that should come in place of the question mark (?) is: \[ \boxed{-\frac{1}{28}} \]

To solve the equation \( 2\frac{3}{7} - 2\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{1}{4} + 1\frac{1}{28} = ? \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions. 1. \( 2\frac{3}{7} = \frac{2 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{14 + 3}{7} = \frac{17}{7} \) 2. \( 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{8 + 1}{4} = \frac{9}{4} \) 3. \( 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{1 \times 4 + 1}{4} = \frac{4 + 1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} \) ...
