Explanation:

Step1: Rename $\frac{1}{2}$ to denominator 10

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5:
$\frac{1 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{5}{10}$

Step2: Rename $\frac{1}{5}$ to denominator 10

Multiply numerator and denominator by 2:
$\frac{1 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{2}{10}$

Step3: Add the renamed fractions

Add numerators, keep denominator:
$\frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{5+2}{10} = \frac{7}{10}$

Answer:

$\frac{7}{10}$
