8 $\frac{4}{5}$ + 13 $\frac{3}{5}$
You asked:
Evaluate the expression: \(8\frac{4}{5} + 13\frac{3}{5}\)
MathBot Answer:
\[ 8\frac{4}{5} + 13\frac{3}{5} = \frac{112}{5} = 22.4 \]
The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{8}{1}\), \(\frac{4}{5}\), \(\frac{13}{1}\), and \(\frac{3}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 8\frac{4}{5} + 13\frac{3}{5} &= \frac{8 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{4 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} + \frac{13 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{40 + 4 + 65 + 3}{5} \\ &= \frac{112}{5} \end{aligned} \]
