Hi there!

Problem:
%281%2B9%2F10%29+%2B+%283%2B7%2F10%29
To solve this problem, you have to make sure the denominator is the same. In this problem, it is the same.
If the denominators are the same, you can add the numerators together and keep the denominator the same.


Then, you can begin.
First, if you add the two mix numbers together, you will get 4%2B16%2F10
The fraction 4%2B16%2F10 can be simplified to 5%2B6%2F10
Notice that you can reduce the fraction even further : 6%2F10+=+3%2F5
So, the answer is 5%2B3%2F5
Answer: 5%2B3%2F5
