You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{37}{5} + \frac{41}{10}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{37}{5} + \frac{41}{10} = \frac{23}{2} = 11.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{37}{5}\) and \(\frac{41}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{37}{5} + \frac{41}{10} &= \frac{37 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} + \frac{41 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{74 + 41}{10} \\ &= \frac{115}{10} \\&= \frac{23}{2} \end{aligned} \]
