Answer:

53/9 or 5 and 8/9

Explanation:

5 1/3 + 5/9

we can convert 5 1/3 to a fraction by multiplying 5 times the denominator and adding 1 (the numerator) to it. we get

16/3

we now need to get common denominators. the least common denominators is 9, so we multiply 16/3 by 3/3 and we get:

48/9

now we can add the two:

48/9 + 5/9 = 53/9 or 5 and 8/9
