.
P(H|G) = 0.6 means that the ratio P(H ∩ G) / P(G) = 0.6 (by the definition of conditional probability).
Substitute here the given data, and you will get
P(H ∩ G) / 0.5 = 0.6.
It implies P(H ∩ G) = 0.5*0.6 = 0.3.
Finally, use the general probability formula for the union
P(H OR G) = P(H) + P(G) - P(H ∩ G),
which is valid for any events H and G.
Substitute all given and found values into this formula, and you will get
P(H OR G) = 0.3 + 0.5 - 0.3 = 0.5.
Solved and explained in all details.
