To solve \(1 \frac{2}{5} + \frac{4}{5}\), first convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

\[
1 \frac{2}{5} = \frac{5 \times 1 + 2}{5} = \frac{7}{5}
\]

Now, add the fractions:

\[
\frac{7}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{7 + 4}{5} = \frac{11}{5}
\]

So, \(1 \frac{2}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{11}{5}\), which can also be expressed as \(2 \frac{1}{5}\).
