7 (2)/(15 ) + 5 (2)/(3) + 9 (3)/(15)

Convert mixed number to improper fraction.


(107)/(15) + (17)/(3) + (148)/(15)

Then change all the denominators into a same number


(107)/(15) + (85)/(15) + (148)/(15)

Add all the numerators but let all the denominators be same.


(107+85+148)/(15) = (340)/(15)

Change the improper fraction back into a mixed number..


22 (10)/(15) I see that we can still simplify the fraction..


22 (10)/(15) = 22 (2)/(3)

Your final answer is C.
22 (2)/(3)
