(1/2 +1/4) - 1/4

To solve the expression \((\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}) - \frac{1}{4}\), we can follow these steps:

1. First, add \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\): \[ \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4} \quad (\text{convert } \frac{1}{2} \text{ to a fraction with a denominator of 4}) \] Now add: \[ \frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} \]

2. Next, subtract \(\frac{1}{4}\) from \(\frac{3}{4}\): \[ \frac{3}{4} - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} \]

3. Simplifying \(\frac{2}{4}\): \[ \frac{2}{4} = \frac{1}{2} \]

So, the result of the expression \((\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}) - \frac{1}{4}\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
