Answer:

Explanation:

1. Find the lcm(least common denominator)

(5 x 2 = 10)

2. Multiply the numerators by the same number as the denominator(you multiplied 5 by 2 to get 10 so you multiply 311 by 2. You multiplied 2 by 5 to get 10 so you multiply 1 by 5.)

311 x 2 = 622

1 x 5 = 5

3. Add

622/10 + 5/10 = 627/10

4. Simplify

627 ÷ 10 = 62
(7)/(10) (it can also be written as: 62.7)

Answer:

5 7/10

Explanation:

first you multiply five by the three, then add the eleven. so now you have a improper fraction, 26/5 plus 1/2. find the Least common denominator which is 10, and whatever you do to the denominator you do to the numerator which makes 57/10 simplify and you'll get 5 7/10
