To find the sum of five-sixths and 2/3, we need to have the same denominator for both fractions.
To do this, we can multiply the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by 2, which gives us 4/6.
Now our fractions have the same denominator, so we can add them together:
5/6 + 4/6 = (5 + 4)/6 = 9/6
Since 9/6 is an improper fraction, we can simplify it by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
9/6 รท 3/3 = 3/2
Therefore, the sum of five-sixths and 2/3 is 3/2, which is equivalent to one and one-half.
