Answer:


6(11)/(15)

Explanation:


2(1)/(3) equals to
(7)/(3)


(11)/(5)+(11)/(5)=(22)/(5)

but the denominator is not the same in
(7)/(3) and
(22)/(5). So you would need to find the LCM for 3 and 5. The LCM for 3 and 5 is 15.


(7)/(3)*(5)/(5) =(35)/(15)


(22)/(5)*(3)/(3) =(66)/(15)


(35)/(15) +(66)/(15) =(101)/(15)


(101)/(15) =6(11)/(15)
