Answer:

17/3

Explanation:

There are two ways to go about this.

1. You could think of the problem as 5 + 2/3, which turns into 15/3 + 2/3. This adds to 17/3.

2. A quick way to turn a mixed number into an improper fraction is to multiply the denominator of the fraction by the interger in front, (5*3=15), and then add the numerator of the fraction, (15+2=17), and put your final number over the denominator of the original fraction, (17/3).
