Answer: C) 6

================================================

Explanation:

2.33333... where the 3s go on forever is the same as 2 + 1/3 or 2 & 1/3

So we really have 3 & 2/3 added onto 2 & 1/3

The fractional portions add to 2/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1, which will carry over.

The whole number portions add to 3+2 = 5, and we add on the carry of 1 to get 5+1 = 6

--------------

Using your calculator

3 & 2/3 = 3 + 2/3 = 3 + 0.667 = 3.667 approximately

adding this onto 2.333 leads to

3.667 + 2.333 = 6

Technically the 6's go on forever in the decimal form of 3 & 2/3, but rounding wont have an effect on the answer when we add
