Dividing Divide. (1) \( \frac{1}{4}+3= \)

To solve \( \frac{1}{4} + 3 \), it's best to convert the whole number into a fraction that has a common denominator with \( \frac{1}{4} \). So, we can express 3 as \( \frac{12}{4} \). Now, we just add these fractions together: \( \frac{1}{4} + \frac{12}{4} = \frac{1 + 12}{4} = \frac{13}{4} \), which can also be written as \( 3\frac{1}{4} \). So, the answer is \( \frac{13}{4} \) or \( 3.25 \). Now you've cracked the code of mixed numbers! Remember, when adding fractions, it’s key to have the same denominator—stay sharp, and you'll become a division wizard in no time! Want to impress your friends? You can easily double-check your work by going back to a whole number! Take \( \frac{13}{4} \), divide it, and see it converts back to 3 with \( \frac{1}{4} \) leftover! It's like magic, and you’re the magician! ✨
