You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(50 + \frac{1}{10} + 4\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 50 + \frac{1}{10} + 4 = \frac{541}{10} = 54.1 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{50}{1}\), \(\frac{1}{10}\), and \(\frac{4}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 50 + \frac{1}{10} + 4 &= \frac{50 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{4 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{500 + 1 + 40}{10} \\ &= \frac{541}{10} \end{aligned} \]
