Answer:

(131)/(30)

Explanation:

1. Convert the decimal into a fraction by writing our number above a fraction line without the decimal sign.

2. Count the decimal places. Below the fraction lines write the multiple of 10 with that many zeros so that would be
(17)/(10)

3. Now write all numerators above the lcd (least common denominator) 30. So that would be
(51 + 60 + 20)/(30)

4. Calculate the sum of the positive numbers. The result is
(131)/(30)

5. Answer is
(131)/(30)
