Answer: 2 2/3


Step-by-step explanation:

we have to turn this into a improper fractions first (so its something like a bobble-head)

(2 2/5) 5 x 2 = 10 + 2 = 11/5

(3 1/4) 3 x 4 = 12 + 1 = 13/4

Then add those two.

11/5 + 13/4

11 + 13 = 24

5 + 4 = 9

 so now its time to put it in simplest form 8/3

Now 8 divided by 3...BUT WAIT...3 can't go into 8

Now we turn it into a Mixed Number 2 2/3
