Answer:

5
(3)/(4)

Explanation:

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

= (2 + 3) +
(1)/(2) + (1)/(4) Here we add the two whole numbers first

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

= 5 +
(2)/(4) +(1)/(4) Here you bring the two fractions to a common denominator and to to this you find the highest common factor of the denominators.

= 5 +
(3)/(4) Here we added 1/4 and 2/4

= 5
(3)/(4) This is the answer simply add 5 and 3/4

HOPE THIS HELPED
