Answer:

1.1 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator. To get the common denominator I multiplied 3/5 by 2/2 to get 6/10 and I multiplied 1/2 by 5/5 to get 5/10 now that they have a common denominator you can add and you get 11/10 = 1.1
