Step-by-step explanation: To simplify 1 2/3 as a fraction/ mixed number, multiply the whole number to the denominator, and add the numerator.

For example:

1
(2)/(3)

1×3=3

3+2=5

Then, put your final added number on top of the denominator.

For example:


(5)/(3)

Your final answer is
(5)/(3)

I hope this helps you!
