8+9 divided by 2
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(8 + \frac{9}{2}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 8 + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{25}{2} = 12.5 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{1}\) and \(\frac{9}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 8 + \frac{9}{2} &= \frac{8 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{9 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{16 + 9}{2} \\ &= \frac{25}{2} \end{aligned} \]
