Answer: 7 3/5 + 2 1/2 = 10 1/10

Explanation:

Write the fractions to have like denominators to make it easier to add.

7 3/5 will become 7 6/10

2 1/2 will become 2 5/10

Rewrite them as improper fractions:

7 6/10 will become 76/10

2 5/10 will become 25/10

Now add.

76/10+25/10=101/10

Rewrite the sum as a mixed number

101/10 will become 10 1/10
