You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4} &= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2 + 3}{4} \\ &= \frac{5}{4} \end{aligned} \]
