I need help with this problem:
3/4 + 5/4 + 1/4 =
Thanks
3 / 4 + 5 / 4 + 1 / 4 =
( 3 + 5 + 1 ) / 4 =
9 / 4 =
( 8 + 1 ) / 4 =
2 1 / 4
3 / 4 + 5 / 4 + 1 / 4 = 9 / 4 = 2 1 / 4
When you add fractions, just add the numerators.
3/4 + 5/4 + 1/4 = 9/4 = 2 1/4
To solve the equation 3/4 + 5/4 + 1/4, you need to find a common denominator for all the fractions. The common denominator for 4, 4, and 4 is simply 4.
Once you have the common denominator, add the numerators together:
3 + 5 + 1 = 9
So, the sum of the fractions 3/4 + 5/4 + 1/4 is 9/4.
However, this answer can be simplified further. Since 9 is not divisible by 4, divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD), which is 1:
9 ÷ 1 = 9
4 ÷ 1 = 4
Therefore, the simplified answer is 9/4.
