you need to change decimals to fractions, mixed fractions to improper fractions.
ex.
1/4 + 3/5

in this case you should get the lcd. (20)

then, then divide 4 by 20 then multiply by 1
then, divide 5 by 20 and multiply by 3

5/20+12/20 then you can add now

17/20

in the second one,
1.5+ 2/5

change 1.5 to fraction that is 1 1/2 or 3/2

3/2 +2/5

the lcd is 10

10 divided by 2 times 3 is 15
10 divided by 5 times 2 is 4

15/10+4/10

19/10 or 1 9/10
