Answer:
9[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
8[tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] = 8 + [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
You know that [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex] is an improper fraction and that one whole ([tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex]) can be taken out of it. The remainder would be: [tex]\frac{5-3}{3}[/tex]. Then, you can add the one whole with the 8 whole to make 9 wholes and the remaining [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex].
8 + [tex]\frac{3}{3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] = 9[tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
