5/4 lowest term

Answer 2

Given :–

• An fraction, ½ + ¾

To Find :–

• The sum of the given fraction.
• Express it in the lowest term.

Solution :–

1. Given fraction is,

⟹ ½ + ¾

Now, take the L.C.M. od the denominators.

L.C.M. of 2 and 4 = 2 × 2 = 4

Now,

⟹ $\dfrac{1 \times 2 + 3 \times 1}{4}$

⟹ $\dfrac{2 + 3}{4}$

⟹ $\dfrac{5}{4}$

Hence,

The sum of the given fraction is $\dfrac{5}{4}$

2. After solving the given fraction (½ + ¾).

We get, $\dfrac{5}{4}$

So, we have to express it in the lowest term.

But, the sum of the fraction $(\dfrac{5}{4})$ is already in the lowest term.
