You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{19}{12} = 1.58\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{4}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{4} + \frac{5}{6} &= \frac{3 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} + \frac{5 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{9 + 10}{12} \\ &= \frac{19}{12} \end{aligned} \]
