• D. $3\frac{1}{14}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $3\frac{9}{14}$

The given calculation is:
$1\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{7}$

$\text{Now,}1\frac{1}{2}\text{can be written as:}$


$\text{Similarly,}2\frac{1}{7}\text{can be written as:}$


$\text{Hence,}\text{the sum}1\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{7}\text{can be calculated as:}$


$\text{Converting}\frac{51}{14}\text{into a mixed fraction, we get:}$


Hence, the given calculation can be completed as:

$1\frac{1}{2}+2\frac{1}{7}=3\frac{9}{14}$
