Answer:

  6 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take a quick look at those fractions.  The LCD here is 8.  We'll leave 4 5/8 as is, but change 2 1/4 to 2 2/8.

Now we'll add together:

 4 5/8

+ 2 2/8

-----------

  6 7/8

[tex]6 \frac{7}{8}.[/tex]

The easiest way to solve this problem is to sum the whole number and the fractions separately.

[tex]4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{1}{4}\\\\4\frac{5}{8} + 2 \frac{1}{4}(\frac{2}{2})\\\\4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{2}{8}[/tex]

Solving the sum:

[tex]4\frac{5}{8} + 2\frac{2}{8} = 6 \frac{7}{8}[/tex]
