Solve 1/2+3/2+1/4

$$\frac { 1 } { 2 } + \frac { 3 } { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 4 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{9}{4}=2.25$$

Solution Steps

Since \frac{1}{2} and \frac{3}{2} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+3}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Add 1 and 3 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$2+\frac{1}{4}$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{8}{4}.

$$\frac{8}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$$

Since \frac{8}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+1}{4}$$

Add 8 and 1 to get 9.

$$\frac{9}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {2}} = 2\frac{1}{4} = 2.25$$
