Math Problem Statement

Solution

To solve the problem 3710+345-3 \frac{7}{10} + 3 \frac{4}{5}:

Step 1: Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

  • For 3710-3 \frac{7}{10}: 3710=(3×10+710)=30+710=3710-3 \frac{7}{10} = -\left(\frac{3 \times 10 + 7}{10}\right) = -\frac{30 + 7}{10} = -\frac{37}{10}

  • For 3453 \frac{4}{5}: 345=3×5+45=15+45=1953 \frac{4}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 4}{5} = \frac{15 + 4}{5} = \frac{19}{5}

Step 2: Find a common denominator.

The denominators are 10 and 5. The least common denominator (LCD) is 10.

  • Convert 195\frac{19}{5} to have a denominator of 10: 195=19×25×2=3810\frac{19}{5} = \frac{19 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{38}{10}

Step 3: Add the fractions.

Now add 3710-\frac{37}{10} and 3810\frac{38}{10}: 3710+3810=37+3810=110-\frac{37}{10} + \frac{38}{10} = \frac{-37 + 38}{10} = \frac{1}{10}

So, the final answer is: 110\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}
