Question

simplify 3/4 + 5/2 write as a fraction not a mixed number

Answer 1

THe expression we have is:

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{2}$

To add the fractions, we need both of them to have the same denominator.

Thus, instead of 5/2, we use the equivalent fraction 10/4 (multiply 5 by 2 and 2 by 2). And now we have:

$\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{2}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{10}{4}$

since 3+10 is 13, we get:

$=\frac{13}{4}$

Answer: 13/4
