You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(500 + 10 + \frac{1}{10}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 500 + 10 + \frac{1}{10} = \frac{5101}{10} = 510.1 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{500}{1}\), \(\frac{10}{1}\), and \(\frac{1}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 500 + 10 + \frac{1}{10} &= \frac{500 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{10 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{5000 + 100 + 1}{10} \\ &= \frac{5101}{10} \end{aligned} \]
