Hey there! Thanks for asking your question here on Brainly!

First, we'll need to get common denominators in each of the two fractions. This can be done by multiplying 1/2 by 5/5 and 1/5 by 1/2.


1/2 x 5/5 = 5/10

1/5 x 1/2 = 1/10


Next, since we now have common denominators, we can simply add the numerators of the fractions together. When adding or subtracting fractions, we have to get common denominators, then add the numerators together. In the final answer, the denominators will remain the same and will not be added together as we would do with the numerators.


5/10 + 1/10 = 6/10


Lastly, we'll need to simplify the fraction. Both the numerator and denominator can be divided by two.


(6/10) / 2 = 3/5


Our final answer is 3/5!


Hope this helps!! :)
