Need help with question

For his famous seafood gumbo, Reggie uses jumbo shrimp and blue crab. His recipe calls for 8 3/5 pounds of shrimp and 7 1/3 pounds of crab. How many total pounds of seafood does Reggie use in all?

(I'm asking a lot of questions...)

Answer:

15 14/15

Explanation:

8 + 7 = 15

1/3 + 3/5

5/15 + 9/15

14/15

15 + 14/15 = 15 14/15
