$$\frac{2-1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$$\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}$$

Since \frac{1}{10} and \frac{1}{10} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{1+1}{10}$$

Add 1 and 1 to get 2.

$$\frac{2}{10}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2}{10} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{1}{5}$$
