You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{6}{8}\) and \(\frac{3}{4}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{6}{8} + \frac{3}{4} &= \frac{6 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{4 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{6 + 6}{8} \\ &= \frac{12}{8} \\&= \frac{3}{2} \end{aligned} \]
