You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{20} = 0.35 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{60}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\) is \(60\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{60} + \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{1 \cdot 1}{60 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 20}{3 \cdot 20} \\ &= \frac{1 + 20}{60} \\ &= \frac{21}{60} \\&= \frac{7}{20} \end{aligned} \]
