Simplify the expression. 0.625 + 3/4

Answer 1

To add these two numbers, we need a common denominator. Since 0.625 is equivalent to 0.625/1, we can find a common denominator by multiplying 4 and 1 together to get 4.

0.625 + 3/4 = 0.625/1 + 3/4

Now, let's convert 0.625 to have the same denominator as 4.

0.625 × 4/4 = 2.5/4

Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can add them.

2.5/4 + 3/4 = (2.5 + 3)/4 = 5.5/4

The expression simplifies to 5.5/4 or 1.375.
