You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{6}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{3}\) and \(\frac{5}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{2}{3} + \frac{5}{6} &= \frac{2 \cdot 2}{3 \cdot 2} + \frac{5 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{4 + 5}{6} \\ &= \frac{9}{6} \\&= \frac{3}{2} \end{aligned} \]
