$$\frac{1}{3}\div\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$$

$\frac{11}{6}\approx 1.833333333$

Divide $\frac{1}{3}$ by $\frac{1}{4}$ by multiplying $\frac{1}{3}$ by the reciprocal of $\frac{1}{4}$.

$$\frac{1}{3}\times 4+\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply $\frac{1}{3}$ and $4$ to get $\frac{4}{3}$.

$$\frac{4}{3}+\frac{1}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{8}{6}+\frac{3}{6}$$

Since $\frac{8}{6}$ and $\frac{3}{6}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{8+3}{6}$$

Add $8$ and $3$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{11}{6}$$

$\frac{11}{2 \cdot 3} = 1\frac{5}{6} = 1.8333333333333333$
