You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(40 + \frac{25}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 40 + \frac{25}{6} = \frac{265}{6} = 44.1\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{40}{1}\) and \(\frac{25}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} 40 + \frac{25}{6} &= \frac{40 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{25 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{240 + 25}{6} \\ &= \frac{265}{6} \end{aligned} \]
