Problem 5:

A new cake recipe requires \( \frac{2}{10} \) cup of sugar for the frosting and \( \frac{3}{10} \) cup of sugar for the cake. How much sugar is that altogether?

#### Solution:
1. Amount of sugar for frosting:
\[
\frac{2}{10} \text{ cups}
\]

2. Amount of sugar for the cake:
\[
\frac{3}{10} \text{ cups}
\]

3. Total amount of sugar:
\[
\frac{2}{10} + \frac{3}{10} = \frac{2 + 3}{10} = \frac{5}{10}
\]

4. Simplify the fraction:
\[
\frac{5}{10} = \frac{1}{2}
\]

Answer:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}
