To add the fractions \(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{2}\), we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 5 and 2 is 10. 

Convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 10:

\[
\frac{1}{5} = \frac{1 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{2}{10}
\]

\[
\frac{3}{2} = \frac{3 \times 5}{2 \times 5} = \frac{15}{10}
\]

Now add the two fractions:

\[
\frac{2}{10} + \frac{15}{10} = \frac{2 + 15}{10} = \frac{17}{10}
\]

So, \(\frac{1}{5} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{17}{10}\).
