Given:


(1)/(2)+(3)/(4)

Let's add the fractions above.

To perform the addition, find the Lowest Common Multiple (LCM) of the denominators.

LCM of 2 and 4 = 4

Divide each denominator by the LCM and multiply the result with the numerator.

Thus, we have:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)+(3)/(4) \\ \\ (2+3)/(4)=(5)/(4) \\ \\ (5)/(4) \end{gathered}

Convert the improper fraction (5/4) to mixed fraction.

We have:


(5)/(4)=1(1)/(4)

ANSWER:


1(1)/(4)
