Math Problem Statement

1 3/4 + 2 3/4

Solution

The image shows the math problem:

134+2341 \dfrac{3}{4} + 2 \dfrac{3}{4}

This involves the addition of two mixed numbers. Here's how you can solve it step by step:

Step 1: Separate the whole numbers and the fractions

  • Whole numbers: 1+2=31 + 2 = 3
  • Fractions: 34+34\dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{3}{4}

Step 2: Add the fractions

Since the denominators are the same (4), you can add the numerators directly: 34+34=64\dfrac{3}{4} + \dfrac{3}{4} = \dfrac{6}{4} Simplify 64\dfrac{6}{4}: 64=124=112\dfrac{6}{4} = 1 \dfrac{2}{4} = 1 \dfrac{1}{2}

Step 3: Add the whole numbers and the result from the fractions

3+112=4123 + 1 \dfrac{1}{2} = 4 \dfrac{1}{2}

So, the final result is:

4124 \dfrac{1}{2}
