Answer:11/4 + 3/2

LCM of denominators = 4

11/4 x 1 = 11/4 and 3/2 x 2 = 6/4

So, 11/4 + 6/4 = 17/4 = 4 1/4

Answer:

4 1/4 kg

Explanation:

2 3/4 + 1 1/2

convert to have common denominators

2 3/4 + 1 2/4

convert to improper fractions (whole number × denominator + numerator / denominator)

11/4 + 6/4

add numerators and keep same denominator

17/4

convert to mixed number

17 goes into the denominator 4 times with 1 left over so:

4 1/4
