You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{9}{4} + 3\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{9}{4} + 3 = \frac{21}{4} = 5.25 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{9}{4}\) and \(\frac{3}{1}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{4} + 3 &= \frac{9 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{9 + 12}{4} \\ &= \frac{21}{4} \end{aligned} \]
