1. Problem Description

The problem asks to identify the number line model that correctly represents the expression 34+(14)\frac{3}{4} + (-\frac{1}{4}).

2. Solution Steps

We need to evaluate the expression 34+(14)\frac{3}{4} + (-\frac{1}{4}).
Since we are adding a negative number, it is the same as subtraction:
34+(14)=3414=314=24=12\frac{3}{4} + (-\frac{1}{4}) = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3-1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}
Now let's analyze the number line models:
A: Starts at 34\frac{3}{4} and moves left (negative direction) by 14\frac{1}{4}. This results in 3414=24=12\frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2}.
B: Starts at 34\frac{3}{4} and moves right (positive direction) by 14\frac{1}{4}. This results in 34+14=44=1\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{4} = 1.
C: Starts at 00 and moves right (positive direction) by 34\frac{3}{4}, then moves left (negative direction) by 34\frac{3}{4}. This represents 3434=0\frac{3}{4} - \frac{3}{4} = 0.
The correct number line model should start at 34\frac{3}{4} and move to the left by 14\frac{1}{4}. Model A correctly represents this operation and the final answer is 24\frac{2}{4} which is the same as 12\frac{1}{2}.
