You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{13}{4} + \frac{8}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{13}{4} + \frac{8}{3} = \frac{71}{12} = 5.91\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{13}{4}\) and \(\frac{8}{3}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{13}{4} + \frac{8}{3} &= \frac{13 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{8 \cdot 4}{3 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{39 + 32}{12} \\ &= \frac{71}{12} \end{aligned} \]
