$$2\frac{1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}=$$

$\frac{31}{12}\approx 2.583333333$

Multiply $2$ and $6$ to get $12$.

$$\frac{12+1}{6}+\frac{5}{12}$$

Add $12$ and $1$ to get $13$.

$$\frac{13}{6}+\frac{5}{12}$$

Least common multiple of $6$ and $12$ is $12$. Convert $\frac{13}{6}$ and $\frac{5}{12}$ to fractions with denominator $12$.

$$\frac{26}{12}+\frac{5}{12}$$

Since $\frac{26}{12}$ and $\frac{5}{12}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{26+5}{12}$$

Add $26$ and $5$ to get $31$.

$$\frac{31}{12}$$

$\frac{31}{2 ^ {2} \cdot 3} = 2\frac{7}{12} = 2.5833333333333335$
