Answer:

6 3/4

Explanation:

4 1/4 + 2 1/2

Since they have different Common Denominators, we’ll have to find the LCM for 4 and 2

4: 4, 8, 12, 16…

2, 2, 4, 6, 8…

The LCM would be 4

Now convert 2 1/2 into a denominator of 4

2 1/2 = 2 2/4

Whatever number you multiplied to get 4 is the same number that will get multiplied to find the numerator

Then we’re ready to add! (4 1/4 + 2 2/4)

4 1/4 + 2 2/4 = 6 3/4

Final Answer: 6 3/4
