You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(4\frac{3}{5} + 2 + 3\frac{1}{10}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 4\frac{3}{5} + 2 + 3\frac{1}{10} = \frac{97}{10} = 9.7 \]


The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{4}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{5}\), \(\frac{2}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{1}\), and \(\frac{1}{10}\) is \(10\). \[ \begin{aligned} 4\frac{3}{5} + 2 + 3\frac{1}{10} &= \frac{4 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{5 \cdot 2} + \frac{2 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{3 \cdot 10}{1 \cdot 10} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{10 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{40 + 6 + 20 + 30 + 1}{10} \\ &= \frac{97}{10} \end{aligned} \]
