You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{12}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{12} = \frac{11}{12} = 0.91\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{3}{12}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3} + \frac{3}{12} &= \frac{2 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{12 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{8 + 3}{12} \\ &= \frac{11}{12} \end{aligned} \]
