You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{8}{14} + 20\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{8}{14} + 20 = \frac{144}{7} = 20.\overline{571428} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{14}\) and \(\frac{20}{1}\) is \(14\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{8}{14} + 20 &= \frac{8 \cdot 1}{14 \cdot 1} + \frac{20 \cdot 14}{1 \cdot 14} \\ &= \frac{8 + 280}{14} \\ &= \frac{288}{14} \\&= \frac{144}{7} \end{aligned} \]
