To find the answer, simplify the expression step by step:
Step 1: Begin with the expression 3 - (-61/4).
Step 2: To simplify the subtraction of a negative number, change the subtraction to addition and change the sign of the second term.
So the expression becomes 3 + 61/4.
Step 3: Now, find the common denominator by multiplying the denominator of 61/4 (which is 4) with the whole number 3 (which can be written as 3/1):
The common denominator is 4.
3/1 has a common denominator of 4. So, multiply the numerator and denominator by 4: (3/1) * (4/4) = 12/4.
Thus, the expression becomes 12/4 + 61/4.
Step 4: Now, add the numerators but keep the common denominator:
12/4 + 61/4 = (12 + 61)/4 = 73/4.
Therefore, the answer to the expression 3 - (-61/4) is 73/4.
Note: The answer you provided, -3/4, is incorrect. The correct answer is 73/4.
