Answer:
8 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
If you want the result as a mixed number, you can get there two ways:
a) convert the integer to an improper fraction, add, then convert the result to a mixed number:
4 +17/4 = 16/4 + 17/4 = 33/4 = 8 1/4
b) convert the improper fraction to a mixed number and add:
4 + 17/4 = 4 + 4 1/4 = 8 1/4

Further explanation
Of course, the conversion to an improper fraction involves multiplying by a suitably chosen version of 1.
4 = 4(4/4) = 16/4
The conversion from an improper fraction involves finding the quotient and remainder when the numerator is divided by the denominator.
33/4 = (8·4 +1)/4 = 8(4/4) +1/4 = 8 1/4 . . . . . that is, 33÷4 = 8 r 1
