You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{112}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{112} = \frac{43}{48} = 0.8958\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{112}\) is \(336\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{112} &= \frac{5 \cdot 56}{6 \cdot 56} + \frac{7 \cdot 3}{112 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{280 + 21}{336} \\ &= \frac{301}{336} \\&= \frac{43}{48} \end{aligned} \]
