You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{49}{5} + 7\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{49}{5} + 7 = \frac{84}{5} = 16.8 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{49}{5}\) and \(\frac{7}{1}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{49}{5} + 7 &= \frac{49 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} + \frac{7 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{49 + 35}{5} \\ &= \frac{84}{5} \end{aligned} \]
