Answer:
5 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
2 [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] + 3 [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= (2 + 3) + [tex]\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}[/tex] Here we add the two whole numbers first
= 5 + [tex]\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
= 5 + [tex]\frac{2}{4} +\frac{1}{4}[/tex] Here you bring the two fractions to a common denominator and to to this you find the highest common factor of the denominators.
= 5 + [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] Here we added 1/4 and 2/4
= 5 [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] This is the answer simply add 5 and 3/4
