Answer:


5 (9)/(10) = 5 9/10

Explanation:

Rewrite by seperating


4 + (1)/(2) + 1 + (2)/(5)

Combine the whole numbers '4' and '1'


5 + (1)/(2) + (2)/(5)

Now add the both fractions


(1)/(2) + (2)/(5) ; fractions should have a common denominator in order to be added

The common LCD is 10


(1)/(2) * (5)/(5) + (2)/(5)*(2)/(2)


(5)/(10) + (4)/(10) now we can add


(5)/(10) + (4)/(10) = (9)/(10)

Lastly combine the whole number part and the fraction part


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