Note: Refer to the following property of exponents:
→ xᵃ * xᵇ = x⁽ᵃ ⁺ ᵇ⁾

Now, (1/2) + (1/4) = ? ;
Note: (1/2) = (?/4) ?? ;
→ Look at the "denominators" ;
2 * ? = 4 ? '
→ 4 ÷ 2 = ? ;
→ 4 ÷ 2 = 2 .
→ So: 2 * 2 = 4; ;
→ Now, look at the "numerators" ;
1 * 2 = 2 ;
So, (1/2) = (2/4) ;
→ (1/2) + (1/4) = (2/4) + (1/4) = (2 + 1) / 4 = 3/4 .

So:
;
=
;
= 3.34370152488 ; (using calculator) ;
→ round to: " 3.344 ".
