You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(3 + \frac{12}{3}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 3 + \frac{12}{3} = 7 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{3}{1}\) and \(\frac{12}{3}\) is \(3\). \[ \begin{aligned} 3 + \frac{12}{3} &= \frac{3 \cdot 3}{1 \cdot 3} + \frac{12 \cdot 1}{3 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{9 + 12}{3} \\ &= \frac{21}{3} \\&= 7 \end{aligned} \]
