21 + 1/4 =
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(21 + \frac{1}{4}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 21 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{85}{4} = 21.25 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{21}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 21 + \frac{1}{4} &= \frac{21 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{84 + 1}{4} \\ &= \frac{85}{4} \end{aligned} \]
