Answer:

1.1

Explanation:

If she added the first 4/5 then she added the 3/10 then you have to add them to figure out how much water is in the bucket.

Answer:

1 1/10 gallons

Explanation:

Add 4/5 gallon + 3/10 gallon

Get a common denominator of 10

4/5*2/2 + 3/10

8/10 +3/10

11/10

Change from an improper fraction to a mixed number

10/10 + 1/10

1 1/10 gallons
