You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(45\frac{4}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 45\frac{4}{5} = \frac{229}{5} = 45.8 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{45}{1}\) and \(\frac{4}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 45\frac{4}{5} &= \frac{45 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{4 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{225 + 4}{5} \\ &= \frac{229}{5} \end{aligned} \]
