Answer: 238

Step-by-step explanation

The 165 portion after the decimal point represents 165/1000 because the 5 is in the thousandths place value.

Reduce that fraction. To do so, divide both parts by the GCF 5.

165/5 = 33

1000/5 = 200

This would mean 165/1000 = 33/200.

5.165 converts to the mixed number 5 & 33/200.

Compare that to the template a & b/c to find the following:

a = 5, b = 33, c = 200

Therefore, a+b+c = 5+33+200 = 238
