#1
3 1/2 +5 2/3
you would want to get these to have common denominators so you would multiply them, the lowest number they both can go into is 6 so you would have both of them go into that number. And they would equal
3 3/6 + 5 4/6 = 8 7/6
You can reduce this down to
9 1/6
__________________________________________________________
#2
2/5 (3/4)
you want to remove the parentheses so it would be
2/5 x 3/4
Then you will cross cancel the numbers (2 and 4)
1/5 x 3/2
then you want to multiply the fractions, and it would be.
3/5x2
and you multiply once again for your final answer
3/10
Answer #1: 9 1/6
Answer #2: 3/10
