You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(1.2 + 1\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 1.2 + 1 = \frac{11}{5} = 2.2 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{1}\), \(\frac{2}{10}\), and \(\frac{1}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 1.2 + 1 &= \frac{1 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{1 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{10 + 2 + 10}{10} \\ &= \frac{22}{10} \\&= \frac{11}{5} \end{aligned} \]
