Solve 1/3+13/4

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{25}{12}\approx 2.083333333$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 4 to get 4.

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

Add 4 and 3 to get 7.

$$\frac{1}{3}+\frac{7}{4}$$

Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. Convert \frac{1}{3} and \frac{7}{4} to fractions with denominator 12.

$$\frac{4}{12}+\frac{21}{12}$$

Since \frac{4}{12} and \frac{21}{12} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{4+21}{12}$$

Add 4 and 21 to get 25.

$$\frac{25}{12}$$

Factor

$$\frac{5 ^ {2}}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 2\frac{1}{12} = 2.0833333333333335$$
