You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(340\frac{1}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 340\frac{1}{2} = \frac{681}{2} = 340.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{340}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 340\frac{1}{2} &= \frac{340 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{680 + 1}{2} \\ &= \frac{681}{2} \end{aligned} \]
