You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(6 + \frac{2}{8}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 6 + \frac{2}{8} = \frac{25}{4} = 6.25 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{6}{1}\) and \(\frac{2}{8}\) is \(8\). \[ \begin{aligned} 6 + \frac{2}{8} &= \frac{6 \cdot 8}{1 \cdot 8} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{8 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{48 + 2}{8} \\ &= \frac{50}{8} \\&= \frac{25}{4} \end{aligned} \]
