To evaluate 2/3 + 1/4 + 5/6, you need to find a common denominator for the fractions. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 4, and 6 is 12.

Converting the fractions to have a denominator of 12: 2/3 = 8/12 1/4 = 3/12 5/6 = 10/12

Adding the fractions together: 8/12 + 3/12 + 10/12 = 21/12

Simplifying the fraction: 21/12 can be reduced to 7/4.

Therefore, 2/3 + 1/4 + 5/6 equals 7/4.
