\[ 7.48 + 2\frac{1}{4} = \frac{973}{100} = 9.73 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{7}{1}\), \(\frac{48}{100}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(100\). \[ \begin{aligned} 7.48 + 2\frac{1}{4} &= \frac{7 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{48 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{1 \cdot 25}{4 \cdot 25} \\ &= \frac{700 + 48 + 200 + 25}{100} \\ &= \frac{973}{100} \end{aligned} \]
