You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{7}{12} + \frac{3}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{7}{12} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{4}{3} = 1.\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{7}{12}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{7}{12} + \frac{3}{4} &= \frac{7 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{7 + 9}{12} \\ &= \frac{16}{12} \\&= \frac{4}{3} \end{aligned} \]
