To add the fractions \( \frac{5}{6} + \frac{2}{3} \), we first need a common denominator.

### Steps:

1. The denominators are 6 and 3. The least common denominator (LCD) is 6.
2. Convert \( \frac{2}{3} \) to have the same denominator as \( \frac{5}{6} \). Multiply both the numerator and denominator of \( \frac{2}{3} \) by 2:
   \[
   \frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 2}{3 \times 2} = \frac{4}{6}
   \]
3. Now add the two fractions:
   \[
   \frac{5}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{5 + 4}{6} = \frac{9}{6}
   \]
4. Simplify \( \frac{9}{6} \):
   \[
   \frac{9}{6} = \frac{3}{2}
   \]

So, \( \frac{5}{6} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{3}{2} \), or 1.5 as a decimal.
