To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 5 and 10 is 10. Therefore, we can convert the fractions to have a denominator of 10:

4/5 = 8/10
9/10 (already in terms of 10)

Now, we can add the fractions:

8/10 + 9/10 = (8 + 9)/10 = 17/10

So, 4/5 + 9/10 = 17/10.
17/10 simplifed
To simplify the fraction 17/10, we can find the greatest common divisor (GCD) of 17 and 10, which is 1. So, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by 1:

17 ÷ 1 / 10 ÷ 1 = 17/10

Since there is no other common divisor apart from 1, the fraction 17/10 cannot be simplified any further.
