You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{1}{2} + 10\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{1}{2} + 10 = \frac{21}{2} = 10.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{10}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} + 10 &= \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{10 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{1 + 20}{2} \\ &= \frac{21}{2} \end{aligned} \]
