The correct Answer is:
To simplify the expression \(1 \frac{2}{3} + 2 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4}\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions 1. Convert \(1 \frac{2}{3}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 1 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3 \times 1 + 2}{3} = \frac{3 + 2}{3} = \frac{5}{3} \] 2. Convert \(2 \frac{1}{2}\) to an improper fraction: \[ 2 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2 \times 2 + 1}{2} = \frac{4 + 1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \] So, we now have: \[ \frac{5}{3} + \frac{5}{2} + \frac{3}{4} \] ### Step 2: Find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the Denominators The denominators are 3, 2, and 4. The LCM of these numbers is 12. ### Step 3: Convert Each Fraction to Have a Common Denominator 1. Convert \(\frac{5}{3}\): \[ \frac{5}{3} = \frac{5 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{20}{12} \] 2. Convert \(\frac{5}{2}\): \[ \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 6}{2 \times 6} = \frac{30}{12} \] 3. Convert \(\frac{3}{4}\): \[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12} \] Now we can rewrite the expression as: \[ \frac{20}{12} + \frac{30}{12} + \frac{9}{12} \] ### Step 4: Add the Fractions Now that all fractions have the same denominator, we can add them: \[ \frac{20 + 30 + 9}{12} = \frac{59}{12} \] ### Step 5: Convert the Improper Fraction to a Mixed Number To convert \(\frac{59}{12}\) to a mixed number: 1. Divide 59 by 12. The quotient is 4 and the remainder is 11. 2. Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{59}{12} = 4 \frac{11}{12} \] ### Final Answer The simplified form of \(1 \frac{2}{3} + 2 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{3}{4}\) is: \[ 4 \frac{11}{12} \]
