1 1/15 + 3 3/10 - 2 4/5
There are two ways to solve these, I'm not sure which your teacher wants, but I will do it by turning them into improper fractions;
First lets take the first two:
1+3=
turn into improper fractions;
+
you need to have common denominators to add and subtract fractions, which will be 30;
+=;
Now lets take that answer and subtract the next fraction from that one;
-
find common denominator, 30;
-=
turn into a mixed fraction;
=1
