2 1/4 + 3/4 = 3/1=3
How do we solve fractions step by step?
Conversion a mixed number 2 1/4 to a improper fraction: 2 1/4 = 2 1/4
= 2 · 4 + 1/4
= 8 + 1/4
= 9/4
To find a new numerator:
a) Multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4. Whole number 2 equally 2 * 4/4
= 8/4
b) Add the answer from previous step 8 to the numerator 1. New numerator is 8 + 1 = 9
c) Write a previous answer (new numerator 9) over the denominator 4.
Two and one quarter is nine quarters
Add: 9/
4
+ 3/
4
= 9 + 3/4
= 12/4= 4 · 3/4 · 1= 3
