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

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{3}{2}=1.5$$

Solution Steps

Least common multiple of 4 and 2 is 4. Convert \frac{1}{4} and \frac{1}{2} to fractions with denominator 4.

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

Since \frac{1}{4} and \frac{2}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 1 and 2 to get 3.

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

Since \frac{3}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

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

Add 3 and 3 to get 6.

$$\frac{6}{4}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{6}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{3}{2}$$

Factor

$$\frac{3}{2} = 1\frac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
