You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(9 + \frac{2}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 9 + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{29}{3} = 9.\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{9}{1}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 9 + \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{9 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{27 + 2}{3} \\ &= \frac{29}{3} \end{aligned} \]
