NO! it means 3 cups, plus 1/4 of a cup. And I'm glad you asked, because it will make a big difference. Good luck; I hope it turns out great, whatever you are making.
i just read the other answers. I still think my way makes more sense, because a recipe that says 3 1/4 cups is not the same as saying "three 1/4 cup additions"; these are different things. If it's flour and you are making a cake, it's 3 cups plus 1/4 cup.

Does the recipe read 3-1/4 cup (three and one-quarter) or 3/4 cup (three-quarters)? If it's 3/4, then yes...it would be 3 of the 1/4 cup measures to make 3/4 cup (6 oz).
If however it's 3 1/4, then you need to measure out 3 full cups (8 oz per cup) PLUS 1/4 cup (2 oz).

Yup :-)
1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4
2/4 + 1/4 = 3/4
That's 3 quarter (or 1/4) cups.
But 3 and 1/4 cups is actually 3 full cups and 1/4 more...that's different.
Have fun baking!! Best of luck... and happy holidays!

NO! they are completely different amounts.
3 1/4 cups is 3 cups and then 1/4 of one cup
3/4 of a cup is like a little less than 1 cup.
Good luck!

in math, does 3.25 equal .75? does that clarify anything?
