Answer: 15 1/2

Explanation:

The easy part is adding the whole numbers which is 14. Then you add the fractions but first you have to try to make them the same denominator.

1/2= 2/4=3/8

3/4=6/8

3/8=3/8

Then we add them.

3/8 + 6/8 +3/8

=12/8

= 1 4/8

= 1 1/2

Then add the whole number and the fractions which is now a mixed number.

First add the whole numbers again.

14+1=15

And the 15 with the 1/2.

15+1/2

And the final answer that you get will be 15 1/2.

Hope this helped! ;)
