To add the mixed numbers (2 frac{1}{10}) and (1 frac{1}{10}), follow these steps:

1. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions:

– (2 frac{1}{10} = frac{2 times 10 + 1}{10} = frac{21}{10})

– (1 frac{1}{10} = frac{1 times 10 + 1}{10} = frac{11}{10})

2. Add the improper fractions:

[

frac{21}{10} + frac{11}{10} = frac{21 + 11}{10} = frac{32}{10}

]

3. Simplify the result:

[

frac{32}{10} = frac{16}{5}

]

4. Convert back to a mixed number:

– Dividing 16 by 5 gives 3 with a remainder of 1, so:

[

frac{16}{5} = 3 frac{1}{5}

]

Thus, the final answer is (3 frac{1}{5}).
