To solve the expression 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we first need to convert the mixed numbers (1 2/9 and 5 2/3) into improper fractions.
1 2/9 = (9 * 1 + 2) / 9 = 11/9
5 2/3 = (3 * 5 + 2) / 3 = 17/3
Now, we can add the fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 9 * 3 = 27.
We rewrite both fractions with the common denominator:
11/9 * 3/3 = 33/27
17/3 * 9/9 = 153/27
Now, we can add the fractions with the same denominator:
33/27 + 153/27 = 186/27
The sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 186/27.

Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's solve the expression correctly:
To solve the expression 1 2/9 + 5 2/3, we need to convert the mixed numbers (1 2/9 and 5 2/3) into improper fractions.
1 2/9 = (9 * 1 + 2) / 9 = 11/9
5 2/3 = (3 * 5 + 2) / 3 = 17/3
Now, we can add the fractions:
11/9 + 17/3
To add fractions with different denominators, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the lowest common denominator is 9.
We can convert 17/3 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 9 by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 3: (17/3) * (3/3) = 51/9
Now, we can add the fractions with the same denominator:
11/9 + 51/9 = (11 + 51) / 9 = 62/9.
Therefore, the sum of 1 2/9 and 5 2/3 is 62/9.
