Solve 3+1/4+7/7

$$3 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } + \frac { 7 } { 7 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{17}{4}=4.25$$

Solution Steps

Divide 7 by 7 to get 1.

$$3+\frac{1}{4}+1$$

Convert 3 to fraction \frac{12}{4}.

$$\frac{12}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+1$$

Since \frac{12}{4} and \frac{1}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{12+1}{4}+1$$

Add 12 and 1 to get 13.

$$\frac{13}{4}+1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{4}{4}.

$$\frac{13}{4}+\frac{4}{4}$$

Since \frac{13}{4} and \frac{4}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{13+4}{4}$$

Add 13 and 4 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{4}$$

Factor

$$\frac{17}{2 ^ {2}} = 4\frac{1}{4} = 4.25$$
