THe expression we have is:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{2}[/tex]To add the fractions, we need both of them to have the same denominator.
Thus, instead of 5/2, we use the equivalent fraction 10/4 (multiply 5 by 2 and 2 by 2). And now we have:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}+\frac{5}{2}=\frac{3}{4}+\frac{10}{4}[/tex]since 3+10 is 13, we get:
[tex]=\frac{13}{4}[/tex]Answer: 13/4
