Answer (different ways to say):

1 and 17/20

37/20

1.85

Step-by-step explanation ^in my own words^:

Combine the whole numbers and fractions together, then find the least common multiple (LCM) of 5 and 4 is 20. (5 x 4) Multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction by whatever value will result in the denominator of each fraction being equal to the LCM. After doing that: Now that the fractions have like denominators, subtract the numerators. Put the whole number and fraction together and you get your answer
