1 3/4 + 1 1/2

Question

A. 3 1/4
B. 6 1/2
C. 8 1/2
D. 6 1/4

Answer 1

To add these mixed numbers, we first need to convert them to improper fractions.

1 3/4 = (4*1 + 3)/4 = 7/4
1 1/2 = (2*1 + 1)/2 = 3/2

Now, let's add the two fractions together:
(7/4) + (3/2)
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 4:
(7/4) + (3/2) = ((7/4)*(2/2)) + (3/2) = (14/8) + (3/2)

Now that we have a common denominator, we can add the numerators:
(14/8) + (3/2) = 17/8

Now let's convert this improper fraction back into a mixed number:
17/8 = 2 1/8

Therefore, the sum of 1 3/4 and 1 1/2 is 2 1/8.

Answer: None of the above.
