Answer 2

Answer:

11/20

Step-by-step explanation:

first find a common denominator

choices could be 20 or 40

let's use 20

how many times does 4 go into 20?  5 times

1/4 = 5/20

how many times does 10 go into 20? 2 times

3/10 = 6/20

now we can add the fractions because they have a common denominator

5/20 + 6/20 = 11/20

this can not be simplified.
