Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Simplify the expression by combining like terms and simplifying fractions.
  • Step 2: Analyze coefficients of like terms and reduce them to simplest form.
  • Step 3: Choose the correct multiple-choice option as the final answer.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The expression is 34+18m+28n+178m \frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{8}m+\frac{2}{8}n+\frac{17}{8}m . We identify like terms and consider the fraction denominators.

Step 2: Combine the terms involving m m :

18m+178m=1+178m=188m \frac{1}{8}m + \frac{17}{8}m = \frac{1+17}{8}m = \frac{18}{8}m .

We simplify 188\frac{18}{8} to 94\frac{9}{4}. Therefore, this becomes 94m \frac{9}{4}m .

Step 3: Include the other terms that cannot be further simplified as they are alone. Thus, the entire expression becomes:

34+94m+14n \frac{3}{4} + \frac{9}{4}m + \frac{1}{4}n .

This can be rearranged to 34+214m+14n \frac{3}{4} + 2\frac{1}{4}m + \frac{1}{4}n , where each part is shown in terms of mixed numbers for clearer expression matching.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is 34+214m+14n \frac{3}{4}+2\frac{1}{4}m+\frac{1}{4}n .
