1/6 + 3/8
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{8}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{13}{24} = 0.541\overline{6} \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{6}\) and \(\frac{3}{8}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{6} + \frac{3}{8} &= \frac{1 \cdot 4}{6 \cdot 4} + \frac{3 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{4 + 9}{24} \\ &= \frac{13}{24} \end{aligned} \]
