So, one thing that we would really want to do is to take (first), the whole numbers. This make it a whole lot easier for the both of us. So we do . . .
[tex] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}2+1=3\end{array}\right] [/tex]
Then we add up the fractions.
[tex](3+1)=4 \left \{ {{\boxed{1+2} \ \ \Longrightarrow =\ (3)\atop {\boxed{1/4+3/4}} \right. \Longrightarrow = (1)[/tex]
Your answer: (4)
