The answer is
18(3)/(4)ft

Since we have like denominators, we are able to add without any problem.


10 (1)/(4) +8 (2)/(4)...........................................Add the whole numbers first


18 (1)/(4) + (2)/(4).............................................Add the fractions together


18(3)/(4)....................................................Remember to not add denominators together, but only the numerators (top numbers)

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! :D Have an amazing day! :)

It breaks down like this:
1/4 + 2/4 = 3/4
10 + 8 = 18
18 + 3/4 = 18 3/4

Your answer would be 18 3/4

Hope this helps!
