Answer: 4 8/21

Step by step Explanation:

First convert both 2 5/7 and 1 2/3 into improper fractions.

19/7 and 5/3

Then find their common denominator or their least common multiple.

In this case 3x7=21

Next multiply 19/7 by 3 and 5/3 by 7.

57/21 and 35/21

Now that they have the same denominator just add them together.

57/21+35/21=92/21

Finally simply the improper fraction into a mixed number.

4 8/21

Okay that the answer and step by step explanation to your question. Your welcome.

I hope this helped!
