Answer:

The answer is 3/4.

Explanation:

1/2+1/4

First we want to get a common denominator so that they can be added together.

1/2 * 2/2 = 2/4

We multiplied 1/2 by 2/2 so that both terms have a denominator of 4. Note that we also multiplied the top and bottom of 1/2 because we have to keep the value of the fraction the same.

Now we just add the fractions together.

2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4

So 3/4 is the answer. It is already in its simplest form meaning it cannot be simplified further.
