Let the total number of friends Joshua has be represented by x.
The number of friends who like volleyball is 1/5 * x = x/5.
The number of friends who prefer soccer is 2/5 * x = 2x/5.
To find the number of friends who prefer both sports, we add the number of friends who like volleyball and the number of friends who prefer soccer: x/5 + 2x/5 = 3x/5.
Therefore, 3x/5 of Joshua's friends prefer volleyball and soccer. Answer: \boxed{\dfrac{3x}{5}}.
