$$1.17 = \frac{117}{100} = 1.17$$

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of $\frac{1}{1}$ and $\frac{17}{100}$ is $100$. $$\begin{aligned} 1.17 &= \frac{1 \cdot 100}{1 \cdot 100} + \frac{17 \cdot 1}{100 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{100 + 17}{100} \\ &= \frac{117}{100} \end{aligned}$$
