You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(32 + \frac{32}{2} + 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 32 + \frac{32}{2} + 4 = 52 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{32}{1}\), \(\frac{32}{2}\), and \(\frac{4}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 32 + \frac{32}{2} + 4 &= \frac{32 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{32 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{4 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{64 + 32 + 8}{2} \\ &= \frac{104}{2} \\&= 52 \end{aligned} \]
