Question #N109
What is the value of $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4}$?
A. $\frac{1}{8}$
B. $\frac{1}{6}$
C. $\frac{2}{3}$
D. $\frac{3}{4}$
Correct Answer is: D
To add fractions, they must have a common denominator. The least common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4. We can rewrite $\frac{1}{2}$ as $\frac{2}{4}$. Therefore, $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$.
