$$\frac{1}{2}+\frac{4}{5}$$

$\frac{13}{10}=1.3$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $5$ is $10$. Convert $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{4}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $10$.

$$\frac{5}{10}+\frac{8}{10}$$

Since $\frac{5}{10}$ and $\frac{8}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+8}{10}$$

Add $5$ and $8$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{10}$$

$\frac{13}{2 \cdot 5} = 1\frac{3}{10} = 1.3$
