$$2 \frac { 1 } { 4 } +8.5$$

$10.75$

Multiply $2$ and $4$ to get $8$.

$$\frac{8+1}{4}+8.5$$

Add $8$ and $1$ to get $9$.

$$\frac{9}{4}+8.5$$

Convert decimal number $8.5$ to fraction $\frac{85}{10}$. Reduce the fraction $\frac{85}{10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $5$.

$$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{17}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $2$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{9}{4}$ and $\frac{17}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{9}{4}+\frac{34}{4}$$

Since $\frac{9}{4}$ and $\frac{34}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{9+34}{4}$$

Add $9$ and $34$ to get $43$.

$$\frac{43}{4}$$

$\frac{43}{2 ^ {2}} = 10\frac{3}{4} = 10.75$
