Answer: 13.55 or 13 11/20.

Step-by-step explanation: First, you have to find a common denominator, in this case, it would be 20. 2 can go into 20 10 times, 4 can go into 20 5 times, and 10 can go into 20 2 times. Then, you would NOW have 3 10/20 + 4 15/20 + 5 6/20, to have all the equal denominators. When you add, you would get 12 31/20, but now you have to simplify. Now, you SHOULD get 13 11/20 after simplifying. As a decimal, it would be 13.55 I hoped this helped!
