You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(140 + \frac{150}{2}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 140 + \frac{150}{2} = 215 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{140}{1}\) and \(\frac{150}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 140 + \frac{150}{2} &= \frac{140 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{150 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{280 + 150}{2} \\ &= \frac{430}{2} \\&= 215 \end{aligned} \]
