Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to get the decimal value of 3 1/4.

Ignore the 3 for just a sec here and take 1/4 into consideration.

4 x 25 = 100

So lets multiply the numerators and denominator of the fraction 1/4 by 25. We are doing this because the denomination being a multiple of 10 makes things a lot easier for us.

1(25)/4(25) = 25/100

Remember that this does not change the fraction itself, we are just looking at it from a different point of view.

Now converting 25/100 into a decimal is a much easier deal. What this fraction is telling you, is that you have the number 25, and you are dividing it by 100.

Diving by 100 means that you take the decimal point and move it 2 place values to the left of the number. Our number that is being divided my 100 is 25.

25 can be written as 25.0 which shows us where the decimal point is. So all we have to do here is move this point 2 place values to the left and we get 0.25.

Now lets remember the 3 that we ignored earlier. All you have to do now is 3 + 0.25 which is 3.25. And that is your final answer.

3 1/4 = 3.25
