Say you have 5 and 1/10 and you have to add 6 and 3/20, you add the whole numbers, (11) and then convert the 10 of 1/10 to 20 (20/10 is 2), then you have to multiply the 1 by 2 to get 2/20 (equivalent fraction of 1/10). Now you can add the fractions, i.e. 4/20 (or simplified, 1/5). Final answer is 11 and 1/5
