Only baby RES can be housed in a tank that small. But, for many you can keep in there, I'd say two baby RES. But, do realize that you will need a bigger tank, because a full grown male will need a 75 gal, and a full grown female will need at least a 120 gal. If you can't afford this you can always get a stock tank or a plastic container bigger than 55 gallons.

Can a baby yellow bellied slider live with a adult yellow bellied slider?

Turtles can be cannibalistic. Adult and hatchling turtles should not mix. Also turtles with large size differences should be kept separate. A larger turtle would quite happily take a snap at a hatchling causing serious damage or death. So no, don't mix your baby turtles with your adults.
