Answer:
[tex] 7.25 \: units[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]d \bigg(5 \frac{1}{2}, \: \: - 1 \frac{3}{4} \bigg) \\ \\ = d \bigg( \frac{11}{2}, \: \: - \frac{7}{4} \bigg) \\ \\ = d \bigg( \frac{22}{4}, \: \: - \frac{7}{4} \bigg) \\ \\ = \frac{22}{4} - \bigg( - \frac{7}{4} \bigg) \\ \\ = \frac{22}{4} + \frac{7}{4} \\ \\ = \frac{22 + 7}{4} \\ \\ = \frac{29}{4} \\ \\ = 7. 25\: units[/tex]
