You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(8 + \frac{1}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 8 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} = 8.\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{1}\) and \(\frac{1}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 8 + \frac{1}{3} &= \frac{8 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{24 + 1}{3} \\ &= \frac{25}{3} \end{aligned} \]
