How do you write 8 whole and 1/2 + whole 7 2/3 as a mixed number

The answer is 16 1/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. make both of the denominators into six : 1/2=3/6 and 2/3=4/6

2. add them all together 8+7=15, 4/6+3/6=7/6

3. make the 7/6 into a mixed number so 1 1/6 add that to the 15 so 16 1/6

its kinda hard to answer this when we dont have all the information that we need.
