You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 + \frac{3}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 3 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4} = 3.75 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{1}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 3 + \frac{3}{4} &= \frac{3 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{12 + 3}{4} \\ &= \frac{15}{4} \end{aligned} \]
