To find the value of \( \frac{3}{4} + \frac{1}{2} \), we first need to have a common denominator for the fractions. The denominators here are 4 and 2. The least common denominator between them is 4.

Next, we convert \( \frac{1}{2} \) to a fraction with a denominator of 4. To do this, we multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \( \frac{1}{2} \) by 2:

\[

\frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2}{4}

\]

Now, we can rewrite the sum with both fractions having the same denominator:

\[

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

\]

The result \( \frac{5}{4} \) can be expressed as a mixed number, which is \( 1\frac{1}{4} \) or in decimal form as 1.25. However, in the context of this answer, the simplest fractional representation is the most appropriate and clearly
