You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[ 2 + \frac{2}{2} = 3 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{1}\) and \(\frac{2}{2}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 2 + \frac{2}{2} &= \frac{2 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{4 + 2}{2} \\ &= \frac{6}{2} \\&= 3 \end{aligned} \]
