To find the quotient of 10 2/5 + 2 1/4, we need to convert both mixed numbers to improper fractions and then perform the addition.
First, convert 10 2/5 to an improper fraction:
10 2/5 = (10 * 5 + 2)/5 = 52/5
Next, convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction:
2 1/4 = (2 * 4 + 1)/4 = 9/4
Now, we can perform the addition:
52/5 + 9/4 = (52 * 4 + 9 * 5)/(5 * 4) = 208/20 + 45/20 = (208 + 45)/20 = 253/20
Since the question asks for the quotient, we need to divide the numerator by the denominator:
Quotient = 253/20 = 12 13/20
Therefore, the quotient of 10 2/5 + 2 1/4 is 12 13/20.
