3) \( 2+4 \frac{3}{4}= \)

To solve \(2 + 4 \frac{3}{4}\), first convert the mixed number into an improper fraction. This gives us \(4 \frac{3}{4} = 4 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{16}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{19}{4}\). Now add it to 2, which can be expressed as \(\frac{8}{4}\) (since \(2 = \frac{8}{4}\)). So we have: \[ 2 + 4 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{19}{4} = \frac{27}{4}. \] The answer is \(\frac{27}{4}\) or \(6 \frac{3}{4}\) when expressed as a mixed number! Adding fractions and converting between mixed and improper forms can really spice up math problems! Just remember: when adding mixed numbers, converting them to improper fractions simplifies the calculations a lot. If you're ever confused about fractions, just grab some slices of pizza or cake (yum!), and think of each slice as a fraction. Using real-world objects can make learning fractions far more tangible and way more delicious!
