Question

Guys help me help the answer is 4 1/4​

Answer 1

4 1/4.

Explanation:

First convert to improper fractions:

1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4

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

So it becomes:

7/4 + 5/2

The LCM of 2 and 4 is 4 so we write:

7/4 + 10/4

= 17/4

Now convert this to a mixed number:

17 / 4 = 4 remainder 1

So the answer is 4 1/4.

Answer 2

4¼ is the answer

Explanation:

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

`\\ \rightarrow (7)/(4) + (5)/(2)`

`\\ \rightarrow(7 + 10)/(4)`

`\\ \rightarrow (17)/(4)`

`\\ \rightarrow 4(1)/(4)`

As we can see 17/4 is not divisible by 4 so if we divide it we will get decimal number or mixed number and we need the answer in mixed number so the number 4¼ is in the simplest form and is the answer.
