To add the fractions \( \frac{5}{1} \) and \( \frac{1}{2} \) with the same denominator \(2\), we first need to express \( \frac{5}{1} \) with a denominator of \(2\).
1. Convert \( \frac{5}{1} \) to have a denominator of \(2\):
\[
\frac{5}{1} = \frac{5 \times 2}{1 \times 2} = \frac{10}{2}
\]
2. Now, we can add the fractions with the same denominator:
\[
\frac{10}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{10 + 1}{2} = \frac{11}{2}
\]
So, the sum is \( \frac{11}{2} \).
