4 3/5 + 2 1/5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(4\frac{3}{5} + 2\frac{1}{5}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 4\frac{3}{5} + 2\frac{1}{5} = \frac{34}{5} = 6.8 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{1}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4\frac{3}{5} + 2\frac{1}{5} &= \frac{4 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{20 + 3 + 10 + 1}{5} \\ &= \frac{34}{5} \end{aligned} \]
