Answer 2

6 5/12

Explanation:

We can first begin by separating the whole number and the fraction:
4 + 2/3 + 1 + 3/4

After reordering, it becomes:

4 + 1 + 2/3 + 3/4
5 + 2/3 + 3/4

Now, we must find the common denominator for the fractions so that we may add them:
The common denominator is 12.
5 + 2(4)/3(4) + 3(3)/4(3)

5 + 8/12 + 9/12

5 + 17/12

Simplifying the improper fraction gives us:

5 + 1 + 5/12

And the final answer is:

6 + 5/12

6 5/12
