Plaisi is solving 3 2/4 + 3 3/4.
To solve this problem, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions 2/4 and 3/4. The common denominator for 4 and 4 is 4.
So, we have:
3 2/4 + 3 3/4 = 3 + 2/4 + 3 + 3/4
Now, we can add the whole numbers separately and add the fractions separately:
3 + 3 = 6
2/4 + 3/4 = (2 + 3)/4 = 5/4
Putting it all together, we have:
3 2/4 + 3 3/4 = 6 + 5/4
But 5/4 can be simplified as 1 1/4.
So, the correct result is:
6 + 1 1/4 = 7 1/4
Therefore, the correct result is 7 1/4.
