you have the numbers
2 1/4,  4 1/4,& 3/4
Step one make them into mixed number..
2 1/4= 4*2+1=9/4
4 1/4=4*4+1=17/4
3/4 (keep the same)
Step two add all numerators of the fractions together...
9+17+3=29/4
Step three divide the total and that will be your answer of the total of bags Mr.Warren used
29/4= 7 1/4 bags of mulch

Since all your denominators are the same all you have to do is add them together.

  2 1/4   

  4 1/4        First bring down your denominator 4, now add you numerators which 

+   3/4         3 + 1 + 1 = 5. Now add your whole numbers 2 + 4 = 6. Now you have

 6  5 /4       6 5/4 which is an improper fraction so you have to divide 5 ÷ 4 and you

                  come out with 1 1/4. Since the 1/4 is already simplified, just 

                  add that 1 + 6 = 7 and you have the 1/4. Your answer would be 7 1/4.

6 5/4 = 7 1/4


Hope I was able to help you understand. :-)
