5/8+6/16
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{16}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{16} = 1 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{8}\) and \(\frac{6}{16}\) is \(16\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{8} + \frac{6}{16} &= \frac{5 \cdot 2}{8 \cdot 2} + \frac{6 \cdot 1}{16 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + 6}{16} \\ &= \frac{16}{16} \\&= 1 \end{aligned} \]
