\[ 15 + \frac{1}{2} + 3 + 3 + 3 + 8 = \frac{65}{2} = 32.5 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{15}{1}\), \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{1}\), \(\frac{3}{1}\), and \(\frac{8}{1}\) is \(2\). \[ \begin{aligned} 15 + \frac{1}{2} + 3 + 3 + 3 + 8 &= \frac{15 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{1 \cdot 1}{2 \cdot 1} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{3 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} + \frac{8 \cdot 2}{1 \cdot 2} \\ &= \frac{30 + 1 + 6 + 6 + 6 + 16}{2} \\ &= \frac{65}{2} \end{aligned} \]
