1. Problem Description
The problem is to evaluate the expression .
2. Solution Steps
To solve this problem, we need to follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS), which states that multiplication should be performed before addition.
First, we multiply the two fractions and :
We can simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:
Now we add the result to the first fraction:
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 4 and 6 is
1
2. We convert both fractions to have a denominator of 12:
Now we can add the fractions:
