$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{5}$$

$\frac{9}{10}=0.9$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $5$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{4}{10}$$

Since $\frac{5}{10}$ and $\frac{4}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+4}{10}$$

Add $5$ and $4$ to get $9$.

$$\frac{9}{10}$$

$\frac{3 ^ {2}}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.9$
