Let's first add the whole numbers:

2 + 4 = 6

The LCD of 1/2 and 2/3 is 3/6 and 4/6 . . .


3 + 4 = 7

(The denominators are equal in both fractions so they will remain the same)

= 7/6

Simplifying 7/6 . . .


7/6 = 1 1/6

6 + 1 = 7

7 + 1/6 = 7 1/6

7 1/6 ← answer

Your final answer is 7 1/6.


I hope this helps! :)
