You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(6\frac{12}{14} + \frac{2}{14}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 6\frac{12}{14} + \frac{2}{14} = 7 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{6}{1}\), \(\frac{12}{14}\), and \(\frac{2}{14}\) is \(14\). \[ \begin{aligned} 6\frac{12}{14} + \frac{2}{14} &= \frac{6 \cdot 14}{1 \cdot 14} + \frac{12 \cdot 1}{14 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{14 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{84 + 12 + 2}{14} \\ &= \frac{98}{14} \\&= 7 \end{aligned} \]
