What is the sum of 1 2 + 1 4 12+14? Use the fraction strip to help.

Answer:
6/8 or in simple terms, 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} \\ = ( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{4} ) + \frac{1}{4} \\ = ( \frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} ) + (\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} ) + (\frac{1}{8} + \frac{1}{8} ) \\ = ( \frac{2}{8} ) + ( \frac{2}{8} ) + ( \frac{2}{8} ) \\ = \frac{6}{8} \\ = \frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 4} \\ = \frac{3}{4} [/tex]
