You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{6} + 2\frac{4}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{6} + 2\frac{4}{6} = 3 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{6}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{4}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{6} + 2\frac{4}{6} &= \frac{2 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} + \frac{2 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{4 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2 + 12 + 4}{6} \\ &= \frac{18}{6} \\&= 3 \end{aligned} \]
