Answer:


(19)/(10) or
1.9

Explanation:

we have


(4)/(5)-(2)/(5)+(3)/(4) +(3)/(4)

Combine fractions with the same denominator


(4-2)/(5)+(3+3)/(4)\\\\(2)/(5)+(6)/(4)

In order to add or subtract fractions, they must have the same denominator. Determine the least common denominator (LCD)

LCD=(5)(4)=20

Multiply the first fraction by 4/4 and the second fraction by 5/5 in order to obtain the same denominator in both fractions

so


((4)/(4))(2)/(5)+((5)/(5))(6)/(4)


(8)/(20)+(30)/(20)


(8+30)/(20)


(38)/(20)

Simplify


(19)/(10)
