Answer:
3/4 + 1/2 = 5/4 or 1 and 1/4
Explanation:
Find a common denominator for the two fractions. 1/2 becomes 2/4 because you are multiplying top and bottom by 2 to get 4 since 3/4 already has 4.
Now it becomes 3/4 + 2/4. Add the numerators and keep the denominator. You get 5/4. To get a mixed number, divide 5 by 4. Four goes in once, and leaves a remainder of 1. Keep your original denominator and write 1 and 1/4.
