Let's break down the equation step by step.
You have: \[ 8 + \frac{1}{3} \]
First, convert \( 8 \) into a fraction with a common denominator of \( 3 \): \[ 8 = \frac{24}{3} \]
Now, substitute that back into the equation: \[ \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} \]
Now add the fractions: \[ \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{24 + 1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \]
Now, you see the equation looks like: \[ \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{25}{3} = \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \]
To solve this, combine the fractions: \[ \frac{24 + 1 + 25}{3} = \frac{50}{3} \]
So the final answer is: \[ \frac{50}{3} \]
