1 Answer

$\frac{3}{5}$ $3/5$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ =1 $\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$

Explanation:

First, we must make the denominator of both fractions the same.

$\frac{3}{5}$ $3/5$ + $\frac{1}{2}$ $1/2$ = $\frac{6}{10}$ $6/10$ + $\frac{5}{10}$ $5/10$

Then, we can simply solve the equation.

$\frac{6}{10}$ $6/10$ + $\frac{5}{10}$ $5/10$ = $\frac{11}{10}$ $11/10$

Then, we must create a mixed numeral.

$\frac{11}{10}$ $11/10$ =1 $\frac{1}{10}$ $1/10$
