You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(12.6 + 600\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 12.6 + 600 = \frac{3063}{5} = 612.6 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{12}{1}\), \(\frac{6}{10}\), and \(\frac{600}{1}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 12.6 + 600 &= \frac{12 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{6 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} + \frac{600 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} \\ &= \frac{120 + 6 + 6000}{10} \\ &= \frac{6126}{10} \\&= \frac{3063}{5} \end{aligned} \]
