You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(126 + 37.80\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 126 + 37.80 = \frac{819}{5} = 163.8 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{126}{1}\), \(\frac{37}{1}\), and \(\frac{8}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 126 + 37.80 &= \frac{126 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{37 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{8 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{1260 + 370 + 8}{10} \\ &= \frac{1638}{10} \\&= \frac{819}{5} \end{aligned} \]
