Answer:

6/1

Explanation:

To add mixed fractions like these, we first need to convert them to improper fractions.

1 2/3 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:

1 2/3 = 3/3 + 2/3 = 9/3 + 2/3 = 11/3

Similarly, 2 1/3 can be converted to an improper fraction as follows:

2 1/3 = 3/3 + 1/3 = 6/3 + 1/3 = 7/3

Now we can add the two improper fractions:

11/3 + 7/3 = 18/3

Simplifying the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 3, we get:

18/3 = 6

Therefore, 1 2/3 + 2 1/3 = 6 as an improper fraction, or 6/1 in fraction form.
