Answer:


(2)/(5\\) +
(5)/(10)=
(9)/(10)

Explanation:

Because this is not multiplication or diving you must find the same denominator, which is 10. Now, because 5/10 is already 10 I don't need to change that, but if you see that 2/5 does not have the denominator of 10. Then, I need to multiply 2 on the numerator and the denominator because 5(2) equals 10 and whatever is multiplied to the denominator has to be multiplied to the numerator. So. now the numerator is 4. Lastly, what you need to do is add them together. So, (2+5)=7 and the denominator is stays as 10 because it is addition. So, our final answer is 9/10
