Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newlinec4+3\frac{c}{4} + 3
  1. Identify Given Expression: Identify the given expression and the goal.\newlineWe have the expression c4+3\frac{c}{4} + 3 and we want to express it as a single fraction in simplest form.
  2. Convert Whole Number to Fraction: Convert the whole number to a fraction with the same denominator as the first term.\newlineTo combine c4\frac{c}{4} with 33, we need to express 33 as a fraction with a denominator of 44. We can do this by multiplying 33 by 44\frac{4}{4} which is equal to 11.\newline3×(44)=1243 \times \left(\frac{4}{4}\right) = \frac{12}{4}
  3. Add Fractions Together: Add the two fractions together.\newlineNow we have two fractions with the same denominator, so we can add them together.\newline(c4)+(124)=c+124(\frac{c}{4}) + (\frac{12}{4}) = \frac{c + 12}{4}
  4. Check for Simplification: Check if the resulting fraction can be simplified.\newlineThe fraction (c+12)/4(c + 12)/4 is already in simplest form because cc is a variable and we cannot simplify it further without knowing its value.
