Answer :
You would rename four and one fourth when subtracted from three fourths because when you subtract the fractions you get a different fraction for your answer.
[tex]4 \frac{1}{4}- \frac{3}{4}= 3 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
so you would said three and one half instead of four and one fourth.

[tex]4 \frac{1}{4}- \frac{3}{4}= 3 \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
so you would said three and one half instead of four and one fourth.

To rename mixed numbers it need to be keep in mind that the equal forms of the fraction or the whole number. The given mixed number is renamed as three and half after the subtraction, because the value of the mixed number is changed after the subtraction.
Given information-
Mixed number given in the problem is,
[tex]4\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex]
This mixed number can be named as four and one fourth.
What is mixed number?

To rename mixed numbers it need to be keep in mind that the equal forms of the fraction or the whole number.
Now to subtract the given mixed number from the given fraction number change it in the form of fraction form,
[tex]4\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{17}{4} -\dfrac{3}{4}\\[/tex]
Subtract as the denominator is same,
[tex]4\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{17-3}{4}\\4\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{3}{4} =\dfrac{14}{4}[/tex]
The result 14/4 can be renamed in the mixed form as,
[tex]\dfrac{14}{4}=3\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]
Hence the given mixed number is renamed as three and half after the subtraction, because the value of the mixed number is changed after the subtraction.
