You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8}{10} + \frac{3}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{8}{10} + \frac{3}{5} = \frac{7}{5} = 1.4 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{10}\) and \(\frac{3}{5}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{10} + \frac{3}{5} &= \frac{8 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{8 + 6}{10} \\ &= \frac{14}{10} \\&= \frac{7}{5} \end{aligned} \]
