To solve 3.9+133.9 + \frac{1}{3}:

  1. Convert 3.9 into a fraction:
    3.9=39103.9 = \frac{39}{10}

  2. Now, add it to 13\frac{1}{3}: 3910+13\frac{39}{10} + \frac{1}{3}

  3. Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 10 and 3, which is 30.

  4. Rewrite the fractions with the denominator of 30: 3910=11730and13=1030\frac{39}{10} = \frac{117}{30} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{3} = \frac{10}{30}

  5. Add the fractions: 11730+1030=12730\frac{117}{30} + \frac{10}{30} = \frac{127}{30}
