Answer 2

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) = 5(3)/(10)`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5)`

Required: Evaluate the sum

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) =`

Convert to improper fraction

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) = (17)/(10) + (18)/(5)`

Take LCM

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) = (17+36)/(10)`

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) = (53)/(10)`

Convert to mixed fraction

`1(7)/(10) + 3(3)/(5) = 5(3)/(10)`
