You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{12}{25} + \frac{12}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{12}{25} + \frac{12}{5} = \frac{72}{25} = 2.88 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{12}{25}\) and \(\frac{12}{5}\) is \(25\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{12}{25} + \frac{12}{5} &= \frac{12 \cdot 1}{25 \cdot 1} + \frac{12 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{12 + 60}{25} \\ &= \frac{72}{25} \end{aligned} \]
