You asked:

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

MathBot Answer:

\[ 5 + \frac{5}{5} = 6 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{1}\) and \(\frac{5}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 5 + \frac{5}{5} &= \frac{5 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{25 + 5}{5} \\ &= \frac{30}{5} \\&= 6 \end{aligned} \]
