To solve this problem, we need to follow the order of operations (also known as BEDMAS or PEMDAS) which says to first perform any calculations inside parentheses, then exponents, then multiplication and division (from left to right), and finally addition and subtraction (from left to right).
First, let's simplify the mixed number 12 8/15. We'll first convert it to an improper fraction.
12 8/15 = (12 * 15 + 8) / 15 = 188 / 15
Now, let's add or subtract the fractions:
188/15 - 7/1 + 7/15 = (188 * 1 - 7 * 15 + 7) / 15 = (188 - 105 + 7) / 15 = 90 / 15
Finally, let's simplify the whole number and the fraction separately:
90 / 15 = 6
So, the simplified result is 6.
