Verified Answer :

well first you need to get the same bottom number so the bottom number is 20 and the top will be first fraction top is 8 other fraction is 10 so your answer is 18/20

We will go nice and slow...

to add fractions, you have to have a common denominator.....

that being said....a common denominator of \(\frac{2}{5}\) and \(\frac{2}{4}\) is 20...

So change the fractions...

\(\frac{2}{5} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{8}{20}\)
and
\(\frac{2}{4} * \frac{5}{5} = \frac{10}{20}\)

Now, you can add..

\(\frac{8}{20}+ \frac{10}{20} = \frac{18}{20}\)   (\(\frac{9}{10}\) simplified)

Thus, your answer.
