You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{4}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{4} = \frac{31}{12} = 2.58\overline{3} \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{5}{6}\) and \(\frac{7}{4}\) is \(12\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{5}{6} + \frac{7}{4} &= \frac{5 \cdot 2}{6 \cdot 2} + \frac{7 \cdot 3}{4 \cdot 3} \\ &= \frac{10 + 21}{12} \\ &= \frac{31}{12} \end{aligned} \]
