Answer:83 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: Converting all of these to improper fractions gives us 173/9 + 221/8 + 259/7. Let's first worry about adding 173/9 and 221/8. To get a common denominator lets simply use 72 (8x9). The adjusted fractions are 1384/72 + 1989/72. Now we just do simple addition, we get 3373/72. Now the pesky 259/7. We will repeat the same process, let's use 504 as a denominator now (7x72). We now have 23611/504 + 18389/504 making our final answer 42000/504 or 250/3 or 83 1/3 simplified.
