it could be a looong summer...
there are an infinite number of solutions
if n and m are the numbers
... n - m = 3¼ , or , n = m + 3¼
m can be ANY mixed number

Ask your daughter to pick any number. It could be a whole number or a mixed number.
Add 3 1/4 to the number. You now have two numbers with a difference of 3 1/4.
