To solve this problem, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions and align the fractions with the same denominators.
So, 1 2/9 can be rewritten as (9*1 + 2)/9 = 11/9.
Similarly, 5 2/3 can be rewritten as (3*5 + 2)/3 = 17/3.
Now, we can add the two fractions:
11/9 + 17/3 can be written as:
(11*3 + 17*9)/(9*3) = (33 + 153)/27 = 186/27.
To simplify this fraction, we divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3:
186/27 = (186/3)/(27/3) = 62/9.
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 + 5 2/3 is 62/9.

Apologies for the previous incorrect response.
To solve 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we first need to convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.
1 2/9 can be written as (9*1 + 2)/9 = 11/9.
Similarly, 5 2/3 can be written as (3*5 + 2)/3 = 17/3.
Now, we can add the two fractions together:
11/9 + 17/3.
To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 9 and 3 is 9.
So, we rewrite the two fractions using the common denominator of 9:
11/9 + (17/3) * (3/3) = 11/9 + 51/9.
Now that the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators:
11/9 + 51/9 = (11 + 51)/9 = 62/9.
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 + 5 2/3 is 62/9.
