Question

Identify the missing value in the given expression

$\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{\square }{4}$

• A. 10
• B. 11
• C. 12
• D. 8

Answer 1

The correct option is B 11

Given,
$\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{2}=\frac{\square }{4}$

$\text{Let's find the sum of}\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3}{2}$

Convert these unlike fractions into the like fractions as follows

$=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{3\times 2}{2\times 2}(\because \text{Rewriting the denominator of the second fraction as 4})$

$=\frac{5}{4}+\frac{6}{4}$

$=\frac{5+6}{4}=\frac{11}{4}$
Hence,
The missing value is 11 (The numerator of $\frac{11}{4}$)
