Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 4 1/2 and turn it into just halves by multiplying 4•2 and then adding it to one. 9/2 then multiply that by 2 because you need the denominator to be 4 getting 18/4. Then subtract 11/4 you end up getting 9/4. So technically you have 2 pieces but if you want them both to be 11/4 you only have one
