3 3/4+ 8 3/4
\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{3}\color{royalblue}{\frac34}+\color{orangered}{8}\color{royalblue}{\frac34}\]Add the orange with orange, and the blue with blue, remembering that when you add fractions, you only add the numerator.\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{11}\color{royalblue}{\frac64}\]
Since the numerator of our fraction is larger than the denominator, it's larger than 1 whole unit. It's an improper fraction. We can take some whole unit(s) out of it.
Take a 4 out of the numerator to steal a whole unit from it, 6 - 4 = 2 <-- this is how much will be left over in our fractional part.
\[\large\rm 11+1\frac24=12\frac24\]
Simplify 2/4 to 1/2 by taking a 2 out of numerator and denominator,\[\large\rm 12\frac12\]
Yayyyyy math!
