You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8}{12} + \frac{8}{11}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{8}{12} + \frac{8}{11} = \frac{46}{33} = 1.\overline{39} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{12}\) and \(\frac{8}{11}\) is \(132\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{12} + \frac{8}{11} &= \frac{8 \cdot 11}{12 \cdot 11} + \frac{8 \cdot 12}{11 \cdot 12} \\ &= \frac{88 + 96}{132} \\ &= \frac{184}{132} \\&= \frac{46}{33} \end{aligned} \]
