9/5 + 2 + 15/3
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{9}{5} + 2 + \frac{15}{3}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ \frac{9}{5} + 2 + \frac{15}{3} = \frac{44}{5} = 8.8 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{9}{5}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{15}{3}\) is \(15\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{9}{5} + 2 + \frac{15}{3} &= \frac{9 \cdot 3}{5 \cdot 3} + \frac{2 \cdot 15}{1 \cdot 15} + \frac{15 \cdot 5}{3 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{27 + 30 + 75}{15} \\ &= \frac{132}{15} \\&= \frac{44}{5} \end{aligned} \]
