You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8}{3} + \frac{4}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{8}{3} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{10}{3} = 3.\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{3}\) and \(\frac{4}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{3} + \frac{4}{6} &= \frac{8 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{4 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{16 + 4}{6} \\ &= \frac{20}{6} \\&= \frac{10}{3} \end{aligned} \]
