You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(\frac{4}{8} + \frac{6}{10}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ \frac{4}{8} + \frac{6}{10} = \frac{11}{10} = 1.1 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{8}\) and \(\frac{6}{10}\) is \(40\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{4}{8} + \frac{6}{10} &= \frac{4 \cdot 5}{8 \cdot 5} + \frac{6 \cdot 4}{10 \cdot 4} \\ &= \frac{20 + 24}{40} \\ &= \frac{44}{40} \\&= \frac{11}{10} \end{aligned} \]
