4#1/4#.

We can change 2#1/2# to 2#2/4# as they equal the same thing.

1#3/4#+2#2/4#=3#5/4#

You can re-write 3#5/4# to 4#1/4#.

The puppy grew #4 1/4# inches altogether.

To find the total height grew, add the first week's height to the second week's height,

#1 3/4+2 1/2#
#=4 1/4#

Therefore, the puppy grew #4 1/4# inches altogether.
