You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{7}{6} = 1.1\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{4}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{2 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{2 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{6 + 8}{12} \\ &= \frac{14}{12} \\&= \frac{7}{6} \end{aligned} \]
