Solve (11/2)+(3/4)

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

Evaluate

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

Solution Steps

Multiply 1 and 2 to get 2.

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

Add 2 and 1 to get 3.

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

Least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4. Convert \frac{3}{2} and \frac{3}{4} to fractions with denominator 4.

$$\frac{6}{4}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Since \frac{6}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+3}{4}$$

Add 6 and 3 to get 9.

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

Factor

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