You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(50 + \frac{8}{9}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 50 + \frac{8}{9} = \frac{458}{9} = 50.\overline{8} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{50}{1}\) and \(\frac{8}{9}\) is \(9\). \[ \begin{aligned} 50 + \frac{8}{9} &= \frac{50 \cdot 9}{1 \cdot 9} + \frac{8 \cdot 1}{9 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{450 + 8}{9} \\ &= \frac{458}{9} \end{aligned} \]
