Question

3 1/2 + 1 1/2 use fracción strips or number line to find

Answer 1

Answer: 5

Explanation:

Given expression is,

`3(1)/(2)+1(1)/(2)`

`3+(1)/(2)+1+(1)/(2)`

`4+(1)/(2)+(1)/(2)`

By the Fraction bar strip:

= 4 + 1 part of 2 + 1 part of 2

= 4 + 2 part of 2

= 4 + 1

= 5

Hence,
`3(1)/(2)+1(1)/(2)=5`

Thus, the sum of the given fractions is 5.
