To add 3/4 and 1/2, you need to find a common denominator. One way to do this is to multiply the denominators together:

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

This gives:

3/4 + 1/2 = 6/8 + 4/8

Now that the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators:

6/8 + 4/8 = 10/8

The answer can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 2:

10/8 = (10/2)/(8/2) = 5/4

Therefore, 3/4 + 1/2 = 5/4.

\huge\text{Hey there!}



\mathsf{(3)/(4) + (1)/(2)}


\mathsf{= (3)/(4) + (1*2)/(2*2)}


\mathsf{= (3)/(4) + (2)/(4)}


\mathsf{= (3 + 2)/(4 + 0)}


\mathsf{= (5)/(4)}


\mathsf{= 1 (1)/(4)}



\huge\text{Therefore your answer should be:}


\huge\boxed{\mathsf{(5)/(4)\ or \ 1 (1)/(4)}}\huge\checkmark
