Then we find the LCD (Least Common Denominator) which is 25=10

Then we adjust the fractions:
2121015510

Now we combine the fractions and position them:
22151510

221=42

515=75

4275=117

The fraction will then be 11710 which is the same as 11710.

Now we convert it back to a mixed number:
11710
or decimal:
