To solve this problem, you need to first convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1 2/9 can be written as 11/9.
5 2/3 can be written as 17/3.
Now, add the two fractions together:
11/9 + 17/3
To add these fractions, you need to find a common denominator, which is 9 (the smallest number that both 9 and 3 can divide into).
Converting 17/3 to have a denominator of 9:
(17/3) * (3/3) = 51/9
Now, you can add the fractions:
11/9 + 51/9 = 62/9
So, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 62/9.

Apologies for the mistake.
To solve 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we need to find a common denominator.
The denominator of 9 can be multiplied by 3 to get 27, which can be used as the common denominator.
1 2/9 can be written as 9/9 + 2/9 = 11/9.
5 2/3 can be written as 15/3 + 2/3 = 17/3.
Now, we can add the two fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add these fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator of 11/9 by 3:
(11/9) * (3/3) = 33/27
Now, we can add the fractions:
33/27 + 17/3 = 33/27 + (17/3) * (9/9)
= 33/27 + 153/27 = 186/27
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
(186/3) / (27/3) = 62/9
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 62/9.
To solve 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we need to find a common denominator.
The denominator of 9 can be multiplied by 3 to get 27, which can be used as the common denominator.
1 2/9 can be written as 9/9 + 2/9 = 11/9.
5 2/3 can be written as 15/3 + 2/3 = 17/3.
Now, we can add the two fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add these fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator. Multiply the numerator and denominator of 11/9 by 3:
(11/9) * (3/3) = 33/27
Now, we can add the fractions:
33/27 + 17/3 = 33/27 + (17/3) * (9/9)
= 33/27 + 153/27 = 186/27
To simplify the fraction, we can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
(186/3) / (27/3) = 62/9
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 62/9.
its 6 8/9
Apologies for the previous incorrect response. Let's solve the problem correctly.
To solve 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we need to find the common denominator.
The denominators are 9 and 3. The Common Denominator (CD) is 9, since 9 is divisible by both 9 and 3.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the CD:
1 2/9 = (9/9) + 2/9 = 11/9
5 2/3 = (5/3) + 2/3 = 17/3
Now, we can add the fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add these fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator. In this case, the common denominator is already 9.
11/9 + 17/3 = 11/9 + (17/3) * (3/3) = 11/9 + 51/9 = 62/9
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 6 8/9.

The denominators are 9 and 3. The Common Denominator (CD) is 9, since 9 is divisible by both 9 and 3.
Now, we can rewrite the fractions with the CD:

5 2/3 = (5/3) + 2/3 = 17/3
Now, we can add the fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add these fractions, we need to convert them to have the same denominator. In this case, the common denominator is already 9.
11/9 + 17/3 = 11/9 + (17/3) * (3/3) = 11/9 + 51/9 = 62/9
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 6 8/9.
