$9 \frac{7}{8}$ $9 7/8$

Explanation:

$\frac{11}{2} + 1 \frac{3}{8} + 1 \frac{3}{4} + 1 \frac{1}{4} \leftarrow$ $" "11/2 + 1 3/8 + 1 3/4 + 1 1/4" "larr$ write them in the same form
$↓$ $" "darr$
$= 5 \frac{1}{2} + 1 \frac{3}{8} + 1 \frac{3}{4} + 1 \frac{1}{4}$ $=5 1/2 + 1 3/8 + 1 3/4 + 1 1/4$

$= 8 \frac{? + ? + ? + ?}{8} \leftarrow$ $= 8 (?+?+?+?)/8" "larr$ add whole numbers, find the LCD

$= 8 \frac{4 + 3 + 6 + 2}{8} \leftarrow$ $=8 (4+3+6+2)/8" "larr$ make equivalent fractions.

$= 8 \frac{15}{8} \leftarrow$ $= 8 15/8" "larr$ add the numerators

$= 8 + 1 \frac{7}{8}$ $=8 +1 7/8$

$= 9 \frac{7}{8}$ $=9 7/8$
