You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(6 + \frac{40}{60}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 6 + \frac{40}{60} = \frac{20}{3} = 6.\overline{6} \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{6}{1}\) and \(\frac{40}{60}\) is \(60\). \[ \begin{aligned} 6 + \frac{40}{60} &= \frac{6 \cdot 60}{1 \cdot 60} + \frac{40 \cdot 1}{60 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{360 + 40}{60} \\ &= \frac{400}{60} \\&= \frac{20}{3} \end{aligned} \]
