2 and 8/9 plus 2 and 2/3

5 and 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you need to convert these mixed fractions to improper fractions. To do this, multiply the denominator by the whole number and add it to the numerator. Put it over the denominator. 2 and 8/9 becomes 26/9. 9 times 2 is 18 plus 8 is 26. 26/9. 2 and 2/3 is 8/3. Now find the common denominator (9). Do not change anything about the fraction, 26/9, because it already has 9 in the denominator. 8/3 becomes 24/9 because 3 times 3 is 9 and 8 times 3 is 24. Then, add them. 26/9 plus 24/9 is 50/9. Lastly, put this in simplest form. 50/9 is 5 5/9.

so, let the number of gifts to be wrapped in 5 minutes be x.

so, it becomes,

hence, first option 'a'   is correct.
