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

$\frac{7}{10}=0.7$

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

$$\frac{2}{10}+\frac{5}{10}$$

Since $\frac{2}{10}$ and $\frac{5}{10}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{2+5}{10}$$

Add $2$ and $5$ to get $7$.

$$\frac{7}{10}$$

$\frac{7}{2 \cdot 5} = 0.7$
