Answer:
4¼ is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex] \\ 1 \frac{3}{4} + 2\frac{1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \\ \rightarrow \frac{7}{4} + \frac{5}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \\ \rightarrow\frac{7 + 10}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \\ \rightarrow \frac{17}{4} [/tex]
[tex] \\ \rightarrow 4\frac{1}{4} [/tex]
As we can see 17/4 is not divisible by 4 so if we divide it we will get decimal number or mixed number and we need the answer in mixed number so the number 4¼ is in the simplest form and is the answer.
