You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(7 + 2\frac{3}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 7 + 2\frac{3}{6} = \frac{19}{2} = 9.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{7}{1}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), and \(\frac{3}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} 7 + 2\frac{3}{6} &= \frac{7 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{2 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{42 + 12 + 3}{6} \\ &= \frac{57}{6} \\&= \frac{19}{2} \end{aligned} \]
