$$2\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}$$

$\frac{19}{6}\approx 3.166666667$

Multiply $2$ and $2$ to get $4$.

$$\frac{4+1}{2}+\frac{2}{3}$$

Add $4$ and $1$ to get $5$.

$$\frac{5}{2}+\frac{2}{3}$$

Least common multiple of $2$ and $3$ is $6$. Convert $\frac{5}{2}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$\frac{15}{6}+\frac{4}{6}$$

Since $\frac{15}{6}$ and $\frac{4}{6}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{15+4}{6}$$

Add $15$ and $4$ to get $19$.

$$\frac{19}{6}$$

$\frac{19}{2 \cdot 3} = 3\frac{1}{6} = 3.1666666666666665$
