You asked:

Evaluate the expression: 34+12\frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2}

MathBot Answer:

34+12=54=1.25 \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of 34\frac{3}{4} and 12\frac{1}{2} is 44. 34+12=3141+1222=3+24=54 \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} &= \frac{3 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{3 + 2}{4} \\ &= \frac{5}{4} \end{aligned}
