Answer: 2 & 2/3

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

Work Shown:

8/3 = (6+2)/3

8/3 = 6/3 + 2/3

8/3 = 2 + 2/3

8/3 = 2 & 2/3

The whole part is 2. The fractional part is 2/3.

Another way you could do the problem is to use long division as shown in the diagram below.

The result of the long division is

8/3 = 2 remainder 2

The quotient 2 forms the whole part and the remainder is the numerator of the fractional part 2/3.

So that's another way to get 2 & 2/3
