To do this problem, we need to separate the whole numbers and the fractions.

2+3 
2/3 + 2/3 

Now, we need to find the sum of these two expressions

2+3 = 5
2/3 + 2/3 = 4/3

Technically, the answer 5 4/3 is right, but it isn't in simplest form.  Because 3/3 = 1, you add 1 to your final whole number, and keep the remaining numerator over the denominator.

In conclusion, your final answer is 6 1/3.
