The answer is 3 3/10. 4/5 is equivalent to 8/10 and 1/2 is equivalent to 5/10 and if you add those together you get 13/10 and that as a mixed number is 1 3/10 and then you add the 2 and then get 3 3/10
In order to do this, you need to find the least common multiple. When you do that, you get 5/10 and 2 8/10. Next, what you what to do is turn 2 and 8/10 to an improper fraction, and when you do that you get 28/10. Add 28/10 and 5/10 to get 33/10. Simplify 33/10, and the correct answer is 3 3/10.
