You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(5.5 + \frac{7}{20} \cdot 3\)

MathBot Answer:

\[5.5 + \frac{7}{20} \cdot 3 = \frac{131}{20} = 6.55\]


\[\begin{aligned}5.5 + \frac{7}{20} \cdot 3& = 5 + \frac{5}{10} + \frac{7}{20} \cdot 3\\& = 5 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{7}{20} \cdot 3\\& = 5 + \frac{1}{2} + \frac{21}{20}\\& = \frac{11}{2} + \frac{21}{20}\\& = \frac{131}{20}\end{aligned}\]
