<p>It is a simple question on decimal conversion. Firstly, we have to learn fractions and decimals. A fraction represents a part of a whole. It has two parts, the numerator (number on the top) here, which represents how many parts out of the whole. The denominator (number below) shows how many parts make the whole. A mixed number like 3 1/4 has a whole number and a fractional part. A decimal is a way to represent a number that is not whole, using a (.) or a decimal to separate the whole part from the fractional part. The numbers to the left of the decimal point represent the whole, and those to the right represent the fractional part.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3:</strong>Divide the numerator (1) by the denominator (4).</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>1 divided by 4 equals 0.25.</p>
12
<p><strong>Step 4:</strong>1 divided by 4 equals 0.25.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Add the decimal result to the whole number: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25.</p>
13
<p><strong>Step 5:</strong>Add the decimal result to the whole number: 3 + 0.25 = 3.25.</p>
14
<p><strong>Thus, 3 1/4 as a decimal is 3.25.</strong></p>
