You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + 10 + 8\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + 10 + 8 = \frac{113}{6} = 18.8\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\), \(\frac{10}{1}\), and \(\frac{8}{1}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + 10 + 8 &= \frac{5 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} + \frac{10 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{8 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} \\ &= \frac{5 + 60 + 48}{6} \\ &= \frac{113}{6} \end{aligned} \]
