Answer:

3/2

Explanation:

Because they have a common denominator, all we have to do is add the numerators.

Thus, 3/4+3/4=6/4.

The GCF of 6 and 4 is 2, so dividing top and bottom by 2, we get the fraction in its simplest form: 3/2

Answer: 1 and 1/2

Step-by-step explanation: To add like fractions or fractions that have the same denominator, simply add the numerators and keep the original denominator.

3/4 + 3/4 = 6/4

Notice that 6/4 is not in lowest terms so we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 2.

6 ÷ 2 = 3

4 ÷ 2 = 2

Since 3/2 is an improper fraction, we can divide 2 into 3.

2 divides into 3 only 1 time with a remainder of 1. Therefore, 3/2 can be written as the mixed number 1 and 1/2.

Therefore, 3/4 + 3/4 = 1 and 1/2.
