question #1 of 10
what is the sum of 1/4 and 2/4?
1/4 2/4
3/4 1/2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall fraction addition rule

For fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. The formula is $\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a + b}{c}$.

Step2: Apply the rule to the given fractions

Here, $a = 1$, $b = 2$, and $c = 4$. So, $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1 + 2}{4}$.

Step3: Calculate the numerator

$1+2 = 3$, so the sum is $\frac{3}{4}$.

Answer:

3/4 (or the option corresponding to 3/4, which is the pink - colored box with "3/4" in the given options)
