Answer:
1 1/10
Explanation:
3/5 + 1/2
We can't directly add together because the denominator is not equal, so we do that.
The lowest common factor of the denominator is 10.
3 × 2 / 5 × 2 + 1 × 5 / 2 × 5
6/10 + 5/10
Now that they are equal, add them together (only the numerator will be added and denominator will not change).
6/10 + 5/10 = 11/10
As you can see, the numerator exceeds the denominator by 1 so you make 1 whole number and leave 1 as the numerator. This is a mixed fraction.
1 1/10
