Answer:

1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Both fractions can be expressed using a denominator of 10. The sum can be reduced by removing a common factor of 5 from numerator and denominator.

$\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{2}{10}\\\\=\dfrac{3+2}{10}=\dfrac{5\cdot 1}{5\cdot 2}=\dfrac{1}{2}$
