Answer:
Explanation:
To find the sum of 3 1/4 + 2 3/4 + 3 1/4 + 2 1/4, we can follow these steps:
1. Convert all the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
3 1/4 = (3 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 13/4
2 3/4 = (2 * 4 + 3) / 4 = 11/4
3 1/4 = 13/4 (already in improper fraction form)
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1) / 4 = 9/4
2. Add the fractions together.
13/4 + 11/4 + 13/4 + 9/4 = 46/4
3. Simplify the fraction, if possible.
The fraction 46/4 can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
46/4 = (46 ÷ 2) / (4 ÷ 2) = 23/2
So, 3 1/4 + 2 3/4 + 3 1/4 + 2 1/4 equals 23/2 or 11 1/2.
Please note that the answer can be presented as an improper fraction (23/2) or a mixed number (11 1/2), depending on the desired form.
