Explanation:
To convert a mixed fraction to an improper one, we must transfer the whole number into the numerator of the fraction.
To do this, we convert the whole number 3 into a fraction with common denominator of 4 :

3 \Rightarrow \frac{12}{4}

Since

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

our final step is to add the fractions together, giving us the desired improper fraction:

\frac{12}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}

Explanation:
To transform a mixed number to an improper fraction you have to write the whole part of the number as a fraction with the same denominator as the fraction in the mixed number and then add the numerators.

3 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3 \cdot 4}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{12}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}
