3/4 + 2 1/4 + 3/4 + 9/16 ~ Begin by making all mixed numbers improper fractions 2 1/4 --> (2*4+1)/4 --> 9/4 3/4 + 9/4 + 3/4 + 9/16 ~ Next, make all denominators the same by finding a common denominator (in this case, 16) 3/4 * 4/4 --> 12/16 9/4 * 4/4 --> 36/16 3/4 * 4/4 --> 12/16 12/16 + 36/16 + 12/16 + 9/16 ~ Now add all of the numerators (12+36+12+9)/16 (69)/16 69/16 Either leave the answer as 69/16 or use a calculator to find: 4.3125
9/16 + 1/4 = 9/16 + 4/16 = 13/16.
