To solve this question, we first need to clarify the terms being used. When we see ‘2 3’ and ‘3 4’, these may refer to fractions rather than whole numbers. Assuming this interpretation, we can rewrite the expression as:
2/3 + 3/4
To add these two fractions, we first need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. We will convert each fraction:
- For 2/3: multiply the numerator (2) and the denominator (3) by 4, resulting in 8/12.
- For 3/4: multiply the numerator (3) and the denominator (4) by 3, resulting in 9/12.
Now our expression looks like this:
8/12 + 9/12
We can add the numerators together while keeping the common denominator:
8 + 9 = 17
Thus, it becomes:
17/12
This gives us the final answer:
17/12 or as a mixed number, 1 5/12.
