You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{12}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{17}{12} = 1.41\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{12} &= \frac{5 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{7 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + 7}{12} \\ &= \frac{17}{12} \end{aligned} \]
