\[ 17\frac{3}{6} = \frac{35}{2} = 17.5 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{17}{1}\) and \(\frac{3}{6}\) is \(6\). \[ \begin{aligned} 17\frac{3}{6} &= \frac{17 \cdot 6}{1 \cdot 6} + \frac{3 \cdot 1}{6 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{102 + 3}{6} \\ &= \frac{105}{6} \\&= \frac{35}{2} \end{aligned} \]
