Answer:

36 tenths

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the first part to working this out is understanding that there are 10 tenths in a whole. So 3 wholes is 30 tenths.

The second part is 3 over 5 or 3/5. To write this in tenths you have to effectively double it (if you double the denominator you must double the numerator) What ever you do to the top you must do to the bottom and vice versa. So that 3 over five becomes six over ten. Add them together now you can add these fractions because they are over the same denominator (their bottom number is the same)

30 tenths plus 6 tenths equals 36 tenths.
