$$9\frac{1}{2} = \frac{19}{2} = 9.5$$

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of $\frac{9}{1}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ is $2$. $$\begin{aligned} 9\frac{1}{2} &= \frac{9 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{18 + 1}{2} \\ &= \frac{19}{2} \end{aligned}$$
