= # 135.3 #

#35 7/10 + 36 7/10 + 25 2/5 + 7 4/5 + 29 7/10#

Write the above expression as sum of improper fractions:

= # (35 *10 +7)/10 + (36*10 +7)/10 + (25*5 +2)/5 + (7*5 +4)/5 + (29*10 +7)/10#

= # 357/10 + 367/10 + 127/5 + 39/5 + 297/10#

= # 357/10 + 367/10 + 127/5 * (2/2) + 39/5* (2/2) + 297/10#

Make the denominators equal

=# 357/10 + 367/10 + 254/10 + 78/10 + 297/10#

=# (357 + 367 + 254 + 78 + 297) /10 #

= # 1353/10#

= # 135.3 #
