What is the value of 2/3 + 5?

  1. 2

  2. 3

  3. 5.5

  4. 7

The correct answer is: 7

2/3 can be written as a decimal as 0.666666... (repeating). When we add 5 to this value, we get a result of 5.666666... This result can be simplified to 7 because 5 is equivalent to 5.00000... (repeating). It is important to note that option C, 5.5, may seem like a potential answer but since we are working with fractions, the precision of the result is important to maintain. Therefore, rounding to a decimal may not give us the most accurate answer. Options A and B do not take into consideration the initial fraction, 2/3, and simply do not align with the given equation.
