To find the sum of fractions, you need to have the same denominator. In this case, the denominators are already the same, which is 6.

To add the fractions, simply add the numerators and keep the denominator the same. So, 5/6 + 2/3 is equal to (5 + 2)/6, which is 7/6.

However, we need to express this fraction as a mixed number, which means writing it as a whole number plus a proper fraction.

To convert the improper fraction 7/6 into a mixed number, divide the numerator (7) by the denominator (6). The quotient is the whole number of the mixed number, and the remainder becomes the numerator of the proper fraction.

Dividing 7 by 6 gives us a quotient of 1 and a remainder of 1. Therefore, the fraction 7/6 can be written as 1 1/6.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1 1/6.
