To find the sum, first add the whole numbers and then the fractions: $7 + 8 = 15$ and $\frac{3}{5} + \frac{2}{11}$. To add fractions, find a common denominator, which is $55$ in this case. Convert $\frac{3}{5}$ to $\frac{33}{55}$ and $\frac{2}{11}$ to $\frac{10}{55}$. Adding these gives $\frac{43}{55}$. Thus, the sum is $15 \frac{43}{55}$.
