Each whole number equals 8 eighths. So the two is 16 eighths.
Now, you have to convert 2/3 into eighths.
The nearest common denominator would be a number divisible by both 3 and 8 (this is 24).
2/3 is equal to 16/24 ths. Now divide both numerator and denominator by 3 to come up with eighths. (You'll have 1/24 th left over after 5). So the answer is a little more than 21/8 (by 1/24).
