$\frac{109}{15}$ $109/15$

first, convert to improper fractions:

$2 \frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{3}$ $2 2/3 = 8/3$

$4 \frac{3}{5} = \frac{23}{5}$ $4 3/5 = 23/5$

then find the common factor of the denominators:

3 x 5= 15

$\frac{8}{3} = \frac{40}{15}$ $8/3 = 40/15$

$\frac{23}{5} = \frac{69}{15}$ $23/5 = 69/15$

with the denominators equal, you can add the numerators:

$\frac{40}{15} + \frac{69}{15} = \frac{109}{15}$ $40/15 + 69/15 = 109/15$
