Solve 4(1/2)+3(1/4)

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

Evaluate

$$\frac{11}{4}=2.75$$

Solution Steps

Multiply 4 and \frac{1}{2} to get \frac{4}{2}.

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

Divide 4 by 2 to get 2.

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

Multiply 3 and \frac{1}{4} to get \frac{3}{4}.

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

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

$$\frac{8}{4}+\frac{3}{4}$$

Since \frac{8}{4} and \frac{3}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+3}{4}$$

Add 8 and 3 to get 11.

$$\frac{11}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{11}{2 ^ {2}} = 2\frac{3}{4} = 2.75$$
