Solution

Convert the given fractions into improper fractions then simplify by taking L.C.M
The improper fraction of $1 \frac{5}{9}$ is
$1 \frac{5}{9} = \frac{1 \times 9 + 5}{9} = \frac{9 + 5}{9} = \frac{14}{9}$
Now Consider $2 + \frac{14}{9} + \frac{8}{9}$
$2 + \frac{14}{9} + \frac{8}{9} = \frac{2 \times 9 + 14 + 8}{9} = \frac{18 + 14 + 8}{9} = \frac{40}{9}$
Hence, $2 + \frac{14}{9} + \frac{8}{9}$ is $\frac{40}{9}$ .
