1 answer

To perform the operation 1 1/10 + 2 6/7, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

1 1/10 = (10 * 1 + 1) / 10 = 11/10
2 6/7 = (7 * 2 + 6) / 7 = 20/7

Now, we can add the fractions.

11/10 + 20/7 = (11 * 7 + 20 * 10) / (10 * 7) = (77 + 200) / 70 = 277/70

Next, we can simplify the fraction.

277/70 = 3 17/70

Therefore, 1 1/10 + 2 6/7 = 3 17/70.
