To add the mixed numbers 5 ( frac{4}{10} ) and 3 ( frac{7}{10} ), follow these steps:

1. Convert to Improper Fractions:

– 5 ( frac{4}{10} ) = ( frac{5 times 10 + 4}{10} = frac{50 + 4}{10} = frac{54}{10} )

– 3 ( frac{7}{10} ) = ( frac{3 times 10 + 7}{10} = frac{30 + 7}{10} = frac{37}{10} )

2. Add the Improper Fractions:

– ( frac{54}{10} + frac{37}{10} = frac{54 + 37}{10} = frac{91}{10} )

3. Convert Back to a Mixed Number:

– ( frac{91}{10} ) can be converted to a mixed number by dividing 91 by 10, which gives us 9 with a remainder of 1.
– So, ( frac{91}{10} = 9 frac{1}{10} )

Thus, the answer is 9 ( frac{1}{10} ).
