You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1 + \frac{1}{8}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1 + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{9}{8} = 1.125 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{8}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1 + \frac{1}{8} &= \frac{1 \cdot 8}{1 \cdot 8} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{8 + 1}{8} \\ &= \frac{9}{8} \end{aligned} \]
