2 1/2 +3

pretend that there is a denominator for 3 which is 1

2 1/2 +3/1

find the common denominator for 3/1 which is 2

multiply by 2 for 3/1

3(2)/1(2)=6/2

2 1/2 +6/2

make 2 1/2 into a fraction

multiply 2*2 first

2*2=4

add 4 with the numerator

4+1=5

2 1/2=5/2

5/2+6/2

=11/2

= 5 1/2

answer: 11/2 or 5 1/2
