Solve the Addition: 1/5 + 1/5 with Same Denominators

Solve the following exercise:

$\frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{5}=\text{?}$

To solve this problem, we'll add two fractions with a common denominator:

• Step 1: Identify the numerators and the common denominator of the fractions.
• Step 2: Add the numerators, keeping the denominator unchanged.

Let's do this for our given fractions:

We have the fractions $\frac{1}{5}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$. Both have the same denominator, which is 5.
Step 1: The numerators are 1 and 1, and the common denominator is 5.

Step 2: Add the numerators while keeping the denominator same:
$\frac{1}{5} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 + 1}{5} = \frac{2}{5}$.

Thus, the solution to the problem is $\frac{2}{5}$.
