The two fractions are both equivalent to each other.
No, three quarters is more than two quarters.
11 quarters
Adding fractions to whole numbers: You know that they say that you can't add apples to oranges? Same principle. If you want to add one third to two, you need to convert the two to thirds. In other words, think of a pie; one whole pie is two halves or three thirds or four quarters. Therefore, two is really two three-thirds which is six thirds. That can now be added to one third. The total of adding one third to two is seven thirds. Try another way: one dollar is four quarters. How many quarters would you have if I gave you two more quarters? Six quarters or $1.50. I hope this answers your question. GreenWasabe@gmail.com

Three fourths is three quarters One half is two quarters. Three quarters is greater than two quarters.
When you want to add fractions that have different denominators, you have to convert them into fractions that do have the same denominators. So for example, how much is a half plus a third? Both of these can be converted into sixths, so one half equals three sixths, and one third equals two sixths. Three sixths plus two sixths equals five sixths. That's the answer. If you have three fractions with different denominators, the procedure is the same. Convert all three into fractions with the same denominators, then add them.
11 quarters
three quarters
You multiply straight across. Let's take one half and two halves for example. Multiply across, and you get three quarters.

Fractions that are equivalent have the same values when simplified.

A conjecture is an opinion based on incomplete information, or a guess. It need not be true - or even sensible. So my conjecture is that the sum of two fractions is greater than three quarters. That is a nonsensical conjecture, but it is a conjecture and that is what the question requires.
1.75 or one and three quarters
