A signal passes from SS to TT through a network with two parallel paths. The upper path contains two components in series, each functioning independently with probability 910\dfrac{9}{10}. The lower path contains a single component functioning with probability 45\dfrac{4}{5}. The signal gets through if at least one path is fully functional, and all components act independently. The probability the signal gets through is mn\dfrac{m}{n} in lowest terms. Find m+nm+n.
