49 1/2
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(49\frac{1}{2}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 49\frac{1}{2} = \frac{99}{2} = 49.5 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{49}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 49\frac{1}{2} &= \frac{49 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{98 + 1}{2} \\ &= \frac{99}{2} \end{aligned} \]
