2 3/5+4 2/5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(2\frac{3}{5} + 4\frac{2}{5}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 2\frac{3}{5} + 4\frac{2}{5} = 7 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{4}{1}\), and \(\frac{2}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 2\frac{3}{5} + 4\frac{2}{5} &= \frac{2 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} + \frac{4 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + 3 + 20 + 2}{5} \\ &= \frac{35}{5} \\&= 7 \end{aligned} \]
