Question

How do write in simplest form given `1/2+1/4`?

Answer 1

`3/4`

Explanation:

Since we have two fractions that don't have a common denominator, we need to convert at least one to have that common denominator.

Since `2xx2=4`, we can change the left fraction:

`1/2(1)+1/4`

`1/2(2/2)+1/4`

`2/4+1/4=3/4`
