5.445

You can plug those values in a calculator and get the answer, but here is how you can do it yourself:

$5$ $5$ is the same as $5.0$ $5.0$ same as $5.00$ $5.00$ and so on (just different precisions), so we can do the following:

$5.000 - 0.005 = 4.995$ $5.000-0.005=4.995$

Next we subtract the second number:

$4.995 - 0.05 = 4.945$ $4.995-0.05=4.945$

And lastly, we add $0.5$ $0.5$ :

$4.945 + 0.5 = 5.445$ $4.945+0.5=5.445$
