To add to rational numbers you can follow the next steps:


\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)+(1)/(10)=(3*10+4*1)/(4*10) \\ \Rightarrow(30+4)/(40)=(34)/(40) \end{gathered}

Now, to simplify you can start by dividing both numbers by 2:


(34/2)/(40/2)=(17)/(20)

As 17 is a prime number, this is the final result: 17/20.
