Answer:


\sf (3)/(4) + (1)/(10) = (15)/(20)+(2)/(20)=(17)/(20)

Explanation:


\textsf{In order to add }\sf (3)/(4)\textsf{ and } \sf (1)/(10)\textsf{ with a common denominator.}

We need to find a common multiple of 4 and 10, which is 20.

Then, express both fractions with a denominator of 20:


\sf (3)/(4) = (3 \cdot 5)/(4 \cdot 5) = (15)/(20)


\sf (1)/(10) = (1 \cdot 2)/(10 \cdot 2) = (2)/(20)

Add them with a common denominator of 20:


\sf (15)/(20) + (2)/(20) = (15 + 2)/(20) = (17)/(20)

So, Final answer is:


\sf (3)/(4) + (1)/(10) = (15)/(20)+(2)/(20)=(17)/(20)
