You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{5}{4} = 1.25 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{8}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\), and \(\frac{2}{4}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{8} + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{4} &= \frac{2 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 4}{2 \cdot 4} + \frac{2 \cdot 2}{4 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{2 + 4 + 4}{8} \\ &= \frac{10}{8} \\&= \frac{5}{4} \end{aligned} \]
