You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{16}{5} + \frac{10}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{16}{5} + \frac{10}{4} = \frac{57}{10} = 5.7 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{16}{5}\) and \(\frac{10}{4}\) is \(20\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{16}{5} + \frac{10}{4} &= \frac{16 \cdot 4}{5 \cdot 4} + \frac{10 \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} \\ &= \frac{64 + 50}{20} \\ &= \frac{114}{20} \\&= \frac{57}{10} \end{aligned} \]
