Answer: 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Given expression is,
[tex]3\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]3+\frac{1}{2}+1+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
[tex]4+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
By the Fraction bar strip:
= 4 + 1 part of 2 + 1 part of 2
= 4 + 2 part of 2
= 4 + 1
= 5
Hence, [tex]3\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{2}=5[/tex]
Thus, the sum of the given fractions is 5.
