Answer: 5 and 1/3

Step-by-step explanation: To add mixed numbers, first add the fractions.

So here, we have 2/3 + 2/3 which is 4/3.

Then add the whole numbers.

So we have 2 + 2 which is 4.

So our answer is 4 and 4/3.

But notice, that since 4/3 is an improper fraction, or answer is not in lowest terms. 4/3 can be rewritten as the mixed number 1 and 1/3. So 4 and 4/3 is the same as 4 + 1 and 1/3 which is 5 and 1/3.

Since 5 and 1/3 is in lowest terms, this is our final answer.

So we can say that 2 and 2/3 + 2 and 2/3 is 5 and 1/3
