Given:
The expression is,
[tex]1\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{2}=[/tex]The objective is to write the result as both fraction and a decimal.
Explanation:
To find fraction:
The addition can be performed as,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1\frac{1}{4}+1\frac{1}{2}=\frac{4+1}{4}+\frac{2+1}{2} \\ =\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{2}(\frac{2}{2}) \\ =\frac{5}{4}+\frac{6}{4} \\ =\frac{11}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]To find decimal:
The decimal value of the fraction will be,
[tex]\frac{11}{4}=2.75[/tex]Hence, the fraction is (11/4) and decimal value is 2.75.
