1 answer

To add the fractions 2 2/3 and 2 1/6, you first need to convert them to improper fractions.

2 2/3 = 8/3
2 1/6 = 13/6

Now, add the two fractions:

8/3 + 13/6

To add fractions with different denominators, you need to find a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple (LCM) of 3 and 6 is 6.

Now, rewrite both fractions with a denominator of 6:

8/3 = (8/3)*(2/2) = 16/6
13/6 = 13/6

Now, add the fractions:

16/6 + 13/6 = (16 + 13)/6 = 29/6

Therefore, 2 2/3 + 2 1/6 = 29/6.
