\[ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{4} = 1 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{2}{4}\) is \(4\). \[ \begin{aligned} \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{4} &= \frac{1 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2} + \frac{2 \cdot 1}{4 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{2 + 2}{4} \\ &= \frac{4}{4} \\&= 1 \end{aligned} \]
