You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(20\frac{1}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 20\frac{1}{4} = \frac{81}{4} = 20.25 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{20}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 20\frac{1}{4} &= \frac{20 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{80 + 1}{4} \\ &= \frac{81}{4} \end{aligned} \]
