The first step to solving this is to convert the first mixed number into an improper fraction.

(20)/(17) + 1
(3)/(17) +
(9)/(17)
Now convert the second mixed number into an improper fraction

(20)/(17) +
(20)/(17) +
(9)/(17)
Since the denominator of each of these fractions are the same,, simply add each of the numerators of the fractions together in order to get your final answer.

(49)/(17)
This means that the correct answer to your expression is
(49)/(17),, or 2
(15)/(17) simplified.
Let me know if you have any further questions

1(3)/(17)+1(3)/(17)+(9)/(17)=(20)/(17)+(20)/(17)+(9)/(17)=(49)/(17)=2(15)/(17)\approx2.88235.
