You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 + \frac{18}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 3 + \frac{18}{5} = \frac{33}{5} = 6.6 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{1}\) and \(\frac{18}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 3 + \frac{18}{5} &= \frac{3 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{18 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{15 + 18}{5} \\ &= \frac{33}{5} \end{aligned} \]
