$$|\frac{3}{5}|+|\frac{-2}{5}|$$

$1$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $\frac{3}{5}$ is $\frac{3}{5}$.

$$\frac{3}{5}+|\frac{-2}{5}|$$

Fraction $\frac{-2}{5}$ can be rewritten as $-\frac{2}{5}$ by extracting the negative sign.

$$\frac{3}{5}+|-\frac{2}{5}|$$

The absolute value of a real number $a$ is $a$ when $a\geq 0$, or $-a$ when $a<0$. The absolute value of $-\frac{2}{5}$ is $\frac{2}{5}$.

$$\frac{3}{5}+\frac{2}{5}$$

Since $\frac{3}{5}$ and $\frac{2}{5}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{3+2}{5}$$

Add $3$ and $2$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{5}$$

Divide $5$ by $5$ to get $1$.

$$1$$
