Solve 1/4+1/4+11/2

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

Evaluate

$$2$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

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

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

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

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

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

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

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

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

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

Add 1 and 3 to get 4.

$$\frac{4}{2}$$

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

$$2$$

Factor

$$2$$
