You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(0.123 + 1.23\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 0.123 + 1.23 = \frac{1353}{1000} = 1.353 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{123}{1000}\), \(\frac{1}{1}\), and \(\frac{23}{100}\) is \(1000\). \[ \begin{aligned} 0.123 + 1.23 &= \frac{123 \cdot 1}{1000 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 1000}{1 \cdot 1000} + \frac{23 \cdot 10}{100 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{123 + 1000 + 230}{1000} \\ &= \frac{1353}{1000} \end{aligned} \]
