Question

Solve ½ + ¼ in two ways

Answer 1

3/4

Explanation:

First way:

We can find a common denominator for the fractions and then add the fractions:

½ + ¼ = (2/4) + (1/4)

= (2 + 1)/4

= 3/4

Second way:

We can convert the fractions to decimals and then add the decimals:

½ + ¼ = 0.5 + 0.25

= 0.75

In both methods, the result is 3/4 or 0.75.
