You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[ 4 + \frac{12}{4} = 7 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\) and \(\frac{12}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4 + \frac{12}{4} &= \frac{4 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{12 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{16 + 12}{4} \\ &= \frac{28}{4} \\&= 7 \end{aligned} \]
