Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us first convert the mixed fraction into improper fractions.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement 1:

2 1/2 = (2×2+1) / 2

=> 4+1 / 2

=> 5 / 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Statement 2:

1 4/12 = (12×1+4) / 12

=> 12+4 / 12

=> 16 / 2

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From statement 1 and 2,

We get,

(5 / 2) + (16 / 2)

=> 21 / 2
