$$\frac{17}{6}\approx 2.833333333$$

Solution Steps

Anything divided by one gives itself.

$$\frac{5}{6}+2$$

Convert 2 to fraction \frac{12}{6}.

$$\frac{5}{6}+\frac{12}{6}$$

Since \frac{5}{6} and \frac{12}{6} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{5+12}{6}$$

Add 5 and 12 to get 17.

$$\frac{17}{6}$$
