You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(10 + \frac{11}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 10 + \frac{11}{4} = \frac{51}{4} = 12.75 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{10}{1}\) and \(\frac{11}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} 10 + \frac{11}{4} &= \frac{10 \cdot 4}{1 \cdot 4} + \frac{11 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{40 + 11}{4} \\ &= \frac{51}{4} \end{aligned} \]
