Actually, the correct answer is 7 5/9. Let's break down the calculation:
1 2/9 + 5 2/3 can be rewritten as (9/9 + 2/9) + (15/3 + 2/3).
Simplifying further, we get 11/9 + 17/3.
To add these fractions, we find a common denominator, which in this case is 9.
Then, we convert 17/3 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 9: (17/3) x (3/3) = 51/9.
Now, we can add the fractions: 11/9 + 51/9 = 62/9.
To express this mixed number, we divide the numerator (62) by the denominator (9), which gives us 6 with a remainder of 8.
Therefore, the correct answer is 6 8/9, not 6 8/9.
1 2/9+5 2/3? It's 6 8/9 this is 100% correct
