Hello!

We can calculate it in different ways. I'll show you two ways to solve it:

We can sum fraction with fraction (because they have the same denominator) and sum integer with integer, look:

$\begin{gathered} ((1)/(4)+(3)/(4))=(4)/(4)=1 \\ \\ 4+5=9 \end{gathered}$

Then, we will add the results:

We can convert the fractions to decimals:

$\begin{gathered} (1)/(4)=0.25 \\ \\ (3)/(4)=0.75 \end{gathered}$

Now we can sum it:

Besides these two, there are other ways to solve this problem.
