Answer
The sum is \( 3 \frac{8}{10} \).
Solution
To add the mixed numbers \( 2 \frac{3}{10} \) and \( 1 \frac{5}{10} \), follow these steps:
1. **Add the Whole Numbers:**
\[
2 + 1 = 3
\]
2. **Add the Fractional Parts:**
\[
\frac{3}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{8}{10}
\]
3. **Combine the Sums:**
\[
3 + \frac{8}{10} = 3 \frac{8}{10}
\]
So, the sum of \( 2 \frac{3}{10} \) and \( 1 \frac{5}{10} \) is:
\[
\boxed{3 \frac{8}{10}}
\]

To add the mixed numbers \(2 \frac{3}{10}\) and \(1 \frac{5}{10}\), start by adding the whole numbers. \(2 + 1 = 3\). Next, combine the fractions: \(\frac{3}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{8}{10}\). So, the total is \(3 \frac{8}{10}\). Mixing fractions can sometimes be tricky, but remember to only add fractions with the same denominator. Also, if the sum of the fractions exceeds 1, convert that into a whole number instead of just stacking numbers!
