If you would like to know what is half one added to three quarters, you can calculate this using the following steps:
half one + three quarters = 1/2 + 3/4 = 2/4 + 3/4 = 5/4 = 1 1/4
The correct result would be five quarters (5/4).

Hello...
Tony and his three friends live in Albuquerque, New Mexico, but they all attend college in Boston, Massachusetts. Because they want to have a car at school this year, they are planning to drive Tony's car from Albuquerque to Boston at the beginning of the school year. Although they'll each pay for their own food during the road trip, the friends plan to split the costs for gas and hotels evenly between the four of them.
Estimate the total cost that each friend will have to pay for gas and hotels. Explain how you got your answer. Here are some figures that may help you out:
•Tony's car can travel 28 miles for each gallon of gas.
•The average fuel cost at the time of their trip is $3 per gallon.
•They plan to drive about 650 miles each day.
•They estimate the average cost of a hotel each night is $85.
•They will drive approximately 2,240 miles to get from Albuquerque to Boston.
Solution:
Cost of Gas:
2240 / 28 x 3 = $240
Cost of Lodging:
85 x floor2240 / 650 = $255
Cost of both: $240 +255 = $495.
The cost for a 1/4 share is $495/4 = $123.75.
