You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{80}{6} + \frac{120}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{80}{6} + \frac{120}{4} = \frac{130}{3} = 43.\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{80}{6}\) and \(\frac{120}{4}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{80}{6} + \frac{120}{4} &= \frac{80 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{120 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{160 + 360}{12} \\ &= \frac{520}{12} \\&= \frac{130}{3} \end{aligned} \]
