Answer:

4

Explanation:

Solution by separating parts

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=1 + 1/2 + 2 + 1/2

Solving the whole number parts

1 + 2 = 3

Solving the fraction parts

1/2 +1/2 = 2/2

Reducing the fraction part, 2/2,

2/2 = 1/1

Simplifying the fraction part, 1/1,

1/1 = 1

Combining the whole and fraction parts

3 + 1 = 4
