This is addition of fractions.

1/2 + 1/4

Here are the steps to take fir the addition of fractions.

#1 ; Convert to improper(top heavy) fractions . Not required in this case.

#2 ; Bring to a common denominator . '4' is this case.

#3 ; Convert the numerators to equivalent fractions . 1/2 = 2/4

#4 ; Add the numerators. 2 + 1 = 3

#5 ; place the numersator over the denomintor. 3/4

#6 ; Convert back to a mixed fraction. (Not required in this case).

Hence

#1 ; ignore in this case

#2 ; '4' . Remember 2 x 2 = 4

#3 ; 1(2)/2(2) = 2/4

#4 ; the numertors 2 + 1 = 3

#5 ; 3/4

#6 ; ignore in this case.

So the answer is 3/4 ( three quarters).
