You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{2} = \frac{13}{3} = 4.\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{2}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{2} &= \frac{5 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} + \frac{7 \cdot 3}{2 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{5 + 21}{6} \\ &= \frac{26}{6} \\&= \frac{13}{3} \end{aligned} \]
