$$\frac{23}{4}+\frac{10+1}{2}$$

Add $10$ and $1$ to get $11$.

$$\frac{23}{4}+\frac{11}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $2$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{23}{4}$ and $\frac{11}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{23}{4}+\frac{22}{4}$$

Since $\frac{23}{4}$ and $\frac{22}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{23+22}{4}$$

Add $23$ and $22$ to get $45$.

$$\frac{45}{4}$$

$\frac{3 ^ {2} \cdot 5}{2 ^ {2}} = 11\frac{1}{4} = 11.25$
