Answer:

17/50

Explanation:

Hi!

How you want to go about this is first make the 3/10 into 30/100 to make it match up with 4/100.

You want the denominators to both be 100 so they match.

So you would do this by finding 10 x what gets you to 100.

You could eyeball it and see that 10 x 10 = 100 or go backwards (right to left horizontally) and divide 100 / 10 to get 10.

But now what we have is :

30/100 + 4/100

All you have to do is add the first numbers and simplify if possible.

30 + 4 = 34

So :

34/100

To simplify we can divide both numbers by 2 :

34/2

100/2

17/50

And that is our final answer.

I hope this helped!

If you have any questions do let me know!
