Math Problem Statement

30 + 1/4 - 14 + 20 + 3 + 1/5

Solution

Let's solve the expression step by step:

30+1414+20+3+1530 + \frac{1}{4} - 14 + 20 + 3 + \frac{1}{5}

First, combine the whole numbers:

3014+20+3=3930 - 14 + 20 + 3 = 39

Now, add the fractions:

14+15=520+420=920\frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{20} + \frac{4}{20} = \frac{9}{20}

Finally, combine the result:

39+920=39.4539 + \frac{9}{20} = 39.45

So, the final answer is:

39.4539.45
