Answer:

2/5

Explanation:

The original answer was 4/10, but as a reduced fraction, it is 2/5.

Version of how I got it:

5 and 2 have 10 in common, so that is the denominator

1 and 1 have 1 in common. Keep change and flip, to turn this into a 4. this rule applies because 1 + 1 = 2, and 2 x 2 = 4.

finally...

4/10 -- 2/5

hope this helps!
