5 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

The dictionary is 4 1/2 inches, and the novel is 3/4 inches. *We can find the common denominator by multiplying 1/2 by 2 to make 2/4. Now the denominator is the same, and we can add them together. 4 2/4 + 3/4 = 4 5/4, or 5 1/4. Hope it helps!

*If you did not understand how to make the denominator the same, imagine that we have a pie. You split the pie into 4 equal pieces. You then eat 2 of those pieces. How many pieces are left? 2 pieces, but those 2 pieces make up half of the pie. So 1/2 = 2/4. Also, we can check this by dividing the numerator and denominator of 2/4 by 2. Let's see: 2/2 = 1; 4/2 = 2, so we are correct! 1/2 = 2/4. : )
