You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{1} + \frac{14}{54}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{1} + \frac{14}{54} = \frac{61}{27} = 2.\overline{259} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{1}\) and \(\frac{14}{54}\) is \(54\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{1} + \frac{14}{54} &= \frac{2 \cdot 54}{1 \cdot 54} + \frac{14 \cdot 1}{54 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{108 + 14}{54} \\ &= \frac{122}{54} \\&= \frac{61}{27} \end{aligned} \]
