I got 13/4

A mixed number is an addition of its whole and fractional parts.

3 + 1/4

add 3 and 1/4

To write

3

as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 4/4

3 x 4/4 + 1/4

Combine 3 and 4/4

3x4/4+ 1/4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

3x4+1/4

Simplify the numerator.

Multiply 3 by 4

12+1/4

Add 12 and 1

And your final answer is

13/4
