#8 1/3#

When adding fractions, it is not necessary to change to improper fractions first. You can work with the whole numbers separately.

#7/10+7 19/30" "# add the whole numbers, then the fractions

#= 7 (21+19)/30#

#=7 40/30#

#=7 + 1 10/30#

#=8 1/3#

Using improper fractions make the numerators very big.
Compare:

#7/10 +229/30#

#=(21+229)/30#

#=250/30#

#=8 10/30 = 8 1/3#
