Step-by-step:


3(1)/(2)+2(3)/(5) = (7)/(2) + (13)/(5) = (35)/(10)+(26)/(10) = (61)/(10).

Explaination:

Use
a(x)/(y) = (a.y+x)/(y) to convert a mixed number to a fraction.

Use
(a)/(b) +(x)/(y) = (a.y)/(b.y)+(b.x)/(b.y) = (a.y+b.x)/(b.y) to calculate the sum of two fractions with different denominators.

Hope this help!
