Answer in mixed number form 5 2/3 + 4 7/10

To add \( 5 \frac{2}{3} + 4 \frac{7}{10} \), follow these steps:

### Step 1: Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions
\[
5 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{5 \times 3 + 2}{3} = \frac{15 + 2}{3} = \frac{17}{3}
\]
\[
4 \frac{7}{10} = \frac{4 \times 10 + 7}{10} = \frac{40 + 7}{10} = \frac{47}{10}
\]

### Step 2: Find a common denominator
The least common denominator (LCD) between 3 and 10 is 30.

Convert both fractions to have a denominator of 30:
\[
\frac{17}{3} = \frac{17 \times 10}{3 \times 10} = \frac{170}{30}
\]
\[
\frac{47}{10} = \frac{47 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{141}{30}
\]

### Step 3: Add the fractions
\[
\frac{170}{30} + \frac{141}{30} = \frac{170 + 141}{30} = \frac{311}{30}
\]

### Step 4: Convert improper fraction to mixed number
\[
\frac{311}{30} = 10 \frac{11}{30}
\]

So, \( 5 \frac{2}{3} + 4 \frac{7}{10} = 10 \frac{11}{30} \).
