Question

Solve problem 2+ 1/4+3+1/4

Answer 1

Given the expression:

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

we can add first the integers and then the fractions to get the following:

`2+(1)/(4)+3+(1)/(4)=5+(1)/(4)+(1)/(4)=5+(2)/(4)=5+(1)/(2)`

next, we can use the following rule for the addition of fractions:

`\begin{gathered} (a)/(b)+(c)/(d)=(a\cdot d+b\cdot c)/(b\cdot d) \\ b,d\\e0 \end{gathered}`

in this case,we have the following:

`5+(1)/(2)=(5)/(1)+(1)/(2)=(5\cdot2+1\cdot1)/(1\cdot2)=(10+1)/(2)=(11)/(2)`

therefore, the final result is 11/2
