To solve the problem, you need to convert all the measurements to the same unit, such as inches. Here's how you can do it:

1 yard is equivalent to 16 inches, so you multiply 3 yards by 16 to convert it to inches: 3 yards * 16 inches/yard = 48 inches.
1 foot is equivalent to 12 inches, so you multiply 1 foot by 12 to convert it to inches: 1 foot * 12 inches/foot = 12 inches.
10 inches remain as is.

Adding to the previous step, you convert the second measurement in the same way:
5 yards * 16 inches/yard = 80 inches.
2 feet * 12 inches/foot = 24 inches.
4 inches remain as is.

Now, you can add the converted measurements:
48 inches + 12 inches + 10 inches = 70 inches.
80 inches + 24 inches + 4 inches = 108 inches.

The total sum of the two converted measurements is 70 inches + 108 inches = 178 inches.

Therefore, the result, written in the simplest terms, is 178 inches.
