Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator.Both fractions have the same denominator, which is 10. This means we can add the numerators directly.
Add numerators: Add the numerators.107+109=10(7+9)Now, perform the addition of the numerators.7+9=16So, 107+109=1016
Simplify fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible.In this case, 16/10 is already in its simplest form as a fraction. However, it can be converted to a mixed number because the numerator is larger than the denominator.16/10=1106We can further simplify 106 to 53 after dividing both numerator and denominator by 2.So, 16/10=153
