Answer:

16 19/50

Explanation:

first make improper fractions of both 3 9/10 and 4 1/5

mutltiply the denomiator (the number on the bottom) by the whole number, add the numerator (the number on the top) and put that number over the denomiator. 3 9/10 = 39/10 and 4 1/5 = 21/5. Multiply the improper fractions. numerator x numerator and write that on the top with a line under it. Multiply the denomiators and write that on the bottom. 39*21= 819. 10*5=50. your number would be 819/50. Then divide 819 by 50. You get 16 19/50
