Question

How would i solve for this? it says im doing it wrong and have one more try left.

Answer 1

Answer: 1 & 1/2

The whole part is 1

The fractional part is 1/2

======================================================

Explanation:

Write 1/2 as 2/4. Basically you multiply top and bottom by 2.

We have these three fractions: 1/4, 2/4, 3/4

Add them up: (1/4)+(2/4)+(3/4) = (1+2+3)/4 = 6/4 = 3/2

To go from 6/4 to 3/2, we divide both parts by 2.

Finally, convert the improper fraction 3/2 to the mixed number 1 & 1/2
