Final answer:

To add the given expression, first simplify each fraction, find a common denominator, add the numerators, and then simplify the resulting fraction. The simplified result is 16 1/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To add the given expression, we first need to simplify each fraction.

The first fraction is 15(3)/10, which can be simplified to 45/10.

The second fraction is 25(5)/12, which can be simplified to 125/12.

Now, we can add all the terms together:

45/10 + 15 + 125/12

To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The denominator of 10 can be multiplied by 12 to get a common denominator of 120. So, the expression becomes:

45/10 + 15/1 + 125/12

Converting all the fractions to have a denominator of 120:

540/120 + 180/120 + 1250/120

Adding the numerators:

(540 + 180 + 1250)/120 = 1970/120

Simplifying the fraction:

1970/120 = 98/6 = 16 1/3

So, the simplified result of the addition is 16 1/3.
