1/4 + 3/2

Answer 1

To add the fractions $\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{2}$, we first need a common denominator. The least common denominator (LCD) for 4 and 2 is 4.

Next, we convert $\frac{3}{2}$ to have a denominator of 4:

$$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{3\times 2}{2\times 2}=\frac{6}{4}$$

Now we can add the fractions:

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{6}{4}=\frac{1+6}{4}=\frac{7}{4}$$

Thus,

$$\frac{1}{4}+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{7}{4}$$

This can also be written as a mixed number:

$$1\frac{3}{4}$$

So the final answer is $\frac{7}{4}$ or $1\frac{3}{4}$.
