Answer:

The answer is C

Step-by-step explanation:

2 2/3 + 3 1/2

first, add the whole numbers

(2+3)+( 2/3+1/2)

=5 and then you multiply each fraction by the other denominators

2/3 x 2 and 1/2 x 3

=5 4/6 3/6

Now add each fraction because it is the same denominator

4+3=7 so it is 7/6 now to make it a mixed fraction

7/6=1 1/6

5 +1=6

6+1/6 = 6 1/6
