Question

1. final round! this time, there is just one clue. write your answer as a mixed number.
2. clue: start at $12\frac{3}{4}$ and add $\frac{2}{4}$.

$12\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\boxed{?}\frac{?}{?}$

Explanation:

Step1: Add the fractional parts

To add the mixed number \(12\frac{3}{4}\) and the fraction \(\frac{2}{4}\), we first add the fractional parts. The fractional part of the mixed number is \(\frac{3}{4}\), and we are adding \(\frac{2}{4}\) to it. So, \(\frac{3}{4}+\frac{2}{4}=\frac{3 + 2}{4}=\frac{5}{4}\).

Step2: Convert improper fraction to mixed number and add to whole number

Now, \(\frac{5}{4}\) is an improper fraction. We can convert it to a mixed number: \(\frac{5}{4}=1\frac{1}{4}\). Now, we add this to the whole number part of the original mixed number, which is 12. So, \(12+1\frac{1}{4}=13\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:

\(13\frac{1}{4}\)
