Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: Alright adding fractions here we go.

3 3/5 + 2 1/4

First add up the whole numbers. 3+2=5

Then adding the mix numbers, what you need to do is find a common demoninator. What do 5 and 4 both go into? Well 20, so we multiply each demoinator to get 20.

3/5+1/4

12/20 + 5/20

17/20

Answer is 5 17/20.
