3.5
+3.5
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(3.5 + 3.5\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 3.5 + 3.5 = 7 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{1}\), \(\frac{5}{10}\), \(\frac{3}{1}\), and \(\frac{5}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 3.5 + 3.5 &= \frac{3 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{30 + 5 + 30 + 5}{10} \\ &= \frac{70}{10} \\&= 7 \end{aligned} \]
