You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 3\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = 4 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{1}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\), and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 3\frac{1}{4} + \frac{3}{4} &= \frac{3 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{12 + 1 + 3}{4} \\ &= \frac{16}{4} \\&= 4 \end{aligned} \]
