Answer:

4/5 (or 8/10)

Explanation:

the least common denominator of 2 and 10 is 10, so you have to multiply the first fraction (1/2) by 5/5 so that the denominator of that fraction will become 10. Since 3/10 already has 10 as the denominator, you leave it. By adding 5/10 and 3/10 together you'll get 8/10.

If the question asks to simplify your answer, divide the numerator and denominator of 8/10 to get 4/5
