Answer 1

Answer:

The common denominator is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this question of what is $\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{2}$

We first have to find the LCM(Least Common Multiple) of the unlike denominators 4 and 2 which is 4

So we multiply the numerator and denominator  $\frac{1}{2}$ by 2 so we can add with the same denominator $\frac{1*2}{2*2}=\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{1}{4} +\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3}{4}$
