Q. Evaluate the expression shown below and write your answer as a fraction in simplest form.\newline34+116 \frac{3}{4}+\frac{11}{6} \newlineAnswer:
  1. Identify Common Denominator: Identify a common denominator for the fractions (34)(\frac{3}{4}) and (116)(\frac{11}{6}). The denominators are 44 and 66. The least common multiple (LCM) of 44 and 66 is 1212, which will be our common denominator.
  2. Convert to Equivalent Fractions: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator of 1212.\newlineFor 34\frac{3}{4}, multiply the numerator and denominator by 33 to get 3×34×3=912\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3} = \frac{9}{12}.\newlineFor 116\frac{11}{6}, multiply the numerator and denominator by 22 to get 11×26×2=2212\frac{11\times 2}{6\times 2} = \frac{22}{12}.
  3. Add Fractions with Common Denominator: Add the fractions with the common denominator.\newline(912)+(2212)=(9+2212)=3112(\frac{9}{12}) + (\frac{22}{12}) = (\frac{9 + 22}{12}) = \frac{31}{12}.
  4. Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible.\newlineThe fraction 3112\frac{31}{12} is already in its simplest form because 3131 is a prime number and cannot be divided evenly by 1212.
