Answer: 17/50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, to add fractions, we must find a common denominator, in this case, 100.
Then, we must make the fractions being added all have the common denominator.
So, we must multiply 3/10 * 10/10, which equals 30/100
30/100 + 4/100
Then, just add across the numerator to get 34/100, which can be simplified to 17/50
