    There are 5 1/2 oranges altogether.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The 2 and 3 in front of each fraction indicate that there are a total of 5 whole oranges altogether. Now we have to settle these fractions. the 1/4 and the 1/4 both have a common denominator so there is no need to find one. When the common denominator is found, we simply have to add the numberators on the top of the fraction. 1+1 is 2, and, since the denominator stays the same, we should get a total of 2/4. I am unsure as to whether you were asked to simplify your answer (if you weren't you could keep your answer like this), but if you were to simplify the answer, both the numerator and denominator of our total can be divided by 2, so when that is done, we have a simplified total of 1/2. Take that 1/2 of an orange and add it to our 5 whole oranges, and we should get our answer of 5 1/2 oranges in total.
