Answer:

Simplified form: 6 1/10

Improper form: 61/10

Explanation:

5 3/5 + 1/2

= 28/5 + 1/2

Then, you multiply both fractions so that the denominator is the same number. In this case, multiply the fraction (numerator and denominator) on the left by 2 and on the right by 5.

= 56/10 + 5/10

This way, you can add the numbers because they have the same denominator.

=61/10
