You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7}{4} = 1.75 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{11}{12}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{11}{12} + \frac{5}{6} &= \frac{11 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} + \frac{5 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{11 + 10}{12} \\ &= \frac{21}{12} \\&= \frac{7}{4} \end{aligned} \]
