Explanation:

Step1: Identify the fractions to add

We have two fractions: $\frac{1}{5}$ (vanilla) and $\frac{3}{5}$ (chocolate).

Step2: Add the numerators (same denominator)

When adding fractions with the same denominator, we add the numerators and keep the denominator. So, $\frac{1 + 3}{5}$.

Step3: Calculate the sum

$1 + 3 = 4$, so the result is $\frac{4}{5}$.

Answer:

$\frac{4}{5}$
