Math Problem Statement

What is 3/2 + 3/4?

Solution

The problem asks to calculate the sum of 32+34\frac{3}{2} + \frac{3}{4}.

Solution:

  1. Find a common denominator between 2 and 4. The least common denominator (LCD) is 4.
  2. Convert 32\frac{3}{2} to have the denominator 4: 32=64\frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4}
  3. Now, add the fractions: 64+34=6+34=94\frac{6}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{6+3}{4} = \frac{9}{4}

Thus, the sum is 94\frac{9}{4}, which can also be expressed as the mixed number 2142 \frac{1}{4}.
