You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(16\frac{3}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 16\frac{3}{6} = \frac{33}{2} = 16.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{16}{1}\) and \(\frac{3}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} 16\frac{3}{6} &= \frac{16 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{96 + 3}{6} \\ &= \frac{99}{6} \\&= \frac{33}{2} \end{aligned} \]
