You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{61}{6} + \frac{15}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{61}{6} + \frac{15}{4} = \frac{167}{12} = 13.91\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{61}{6}\) and \(\frac{15}{4}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{61}{6} + \frac{15}{4} &= \frac{61 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{15 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{122 + 45}{12} \\ &= \frac{167}{12} \end{aligned} \]
