Answer: 21

Step-by-step explanation: 1. 2 3/4 + 4 1/4 = 6 4/4 or 7

2. 3 1/2 + 7/1 = 14

3. 7 + 14 = 21

(i think this is it if its not im really sorry)

Mariela Clarke · Answer 2

10 and a half cases

Step-by-step explanation:

3/4 + 1/4 = 1 (common denominators)

2+4+3=9 (Whole numbers)

9+1=10

1/2 wasn't added to the above equations, and needs to be added now
