Answer:
[tex]\frac{21}{4}[/tex] or [tex]5 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]1 \frac{2}{4} + 3 \frac{3}{4}\\[/tex]
First, I would convert them into improper fractions. To convert [tex]1 \frac{2}{4}[/tex], I would do 1 x 4 = 4, then + 2 = 6
To convert [tex]3 \frac{3}{4}\\[/tex] , I would do the same: 3 x 4 = 12 + 3 = 15
That leaves us with [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{15}{4}[/tex]
All we have to do is add the numerators (top numbers) so
6 + 15 = 21
Answer = [tex]\frac{21}{4}[/tex]
or, as a mixed number, [tex]5 \frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Hope this makes sense. If you require any further explanation, feel free to ask..
