You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{20}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{20} = \frac{59}{60} = 0.98\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{3}{20}\) is \(60\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + \frac{3}{20} &= \frac{5 \cdot 10}{6 \cdot 10} + \frac{3 \cdot 3}{20 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{50 + 9}{60} \\ &= \frac{59}{60} \end{aligned} \]
