Answer 1

Given:

\(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{16} + \frac{2}{8} - 2\)

Calculation:

\(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{1}{8} + \frac{5}{16} + \frac{2}{8} - 2\)

⇒ \(\frac{3 \times 2 + 1 \times 2 + 5 + 2 \times 2 - 2 \times 16}{16}\)

⇒ \(\frac{6 + 2 + 5 + 4 - 32}{16}\)

⇒ \(\frac{17 - 32}{16}\)

⇒ \(-\frac{15}{16}\)

The correct answer is Option (4).
