$$\frac{5}{4}+(\frac{5}{2}-\frac{1}{5})$$

$\frac{71}{20}=3.55$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $2$ is $4$. Convert $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{5}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $4$.

$$\frac{5}{4}+\frac{10}{4}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Since $\frac{5}{4}$ and $\frac{10}{4}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+10}{4}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Add $5$ and $10$ to get $15$.

$$\frac{15}{4}-\frac{1}{5}$$

Least common multiple of $4$ and $5$ is $20$. Convert $\frac{15}{4}$ and $\frac{1}{5}$ to fractions with denominator $20$.

$$\frac{75}{20}-\frac{4}{20}$$

Since $\frac{75}{20}$ and $\frac{4}{20}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{75-4}{20}$$

Subtract $4$ from $75$ to get $71$.

$$\frac{71}{20}$$

$\frac{71}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 5} = 3\frac{11}{20} = 3.55$
