You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{25}{24} = 1.041\overline{6} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{8}\) and \(\frac{2}{3}\) is \(24\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{3}{8} + \frac{2}{3} &= \frac{3 \cdot 3}{8 \cdot 3} + \frac{2 \cdot 8}{3 \cdot 8} \\ &= \frac{9 + 16}{24} \\ &= \frac{25}{24} \end{aligned} \]
