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
