The answer would be A. 3 1/2.
Step-by-step explanation
First find a common denominator, which would be 6. You times the top number the same amount of times you times the bottom number to get the common denominator, so now it's 1 4/6 + 1 5/6 now you add, 1+1=2, now you need to add 4 and 5 together, bc they are the top numbers of the fraction. That would be 9 so now the problem is 2 9/6, now we simplify the fraction so that it is 3 3/6 now that simplifies into 1/2 so the answer is 3 1/2
