To find the sum of 2 1/5 and 1 3/5, we need to add the whole numbers separately from the fractions.
Whole numbers: 2 + 1 = 3
Now let's add the fractions:
1/5 + 3/5 = (1 + 3)/5 = 4/5
Putting the whole numbers and fractions together, the sum is:
3 + 4/5 = 3 4/5
So the correct answer is 3 4/5.

Explain it please
Certainly! To find the sum of 2 1/5 and 1 3/5, we start by adding the whole numbers, which are 2 and 1.
2 + 1 = 3
Next, we add the fractions. Both fractions have the same denominator, which is 5, so we can add the numerators together:
1/5 + 3/5 = (1 + 3)/5 = 4/5
Now we have the sum of the fractions, which is 4/5.
Finally, we add the whole number sum (3) to the fraction sum (4/5):
3 + 4/5 = 3 4/5
Therefore, the sum of 2 1/5 and 1 3/5 is 3 4/5.
2 + 1 = 3
Next, we add the fractions. Both fractions have the same denominator, which is 5, so we can add the numerators together:
1/5 + 3/5 = (1 + 3)/5 = 4/5
Now we have the sum of the fractions, which is 4/5.
Finally, we add the whole number sum (3) to the fraction sum (4/5):
3 + 4/5 = 3 4/5
Therefore, the sum of 2 1/5 and 1 3/5 is 3 4/5.
