3/2 + 1/4
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{4}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{2}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{4} &= \frac{3 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{6 + 1}{4} \\ &= \frac{7}{4} \end{aligned} \]
