To find out how far John ran in total, we need to add the distances he ran each time.

First, he ran 5/6 of a mile.
Then, he ran an additional 2/3 of a mile.

To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 6 and 3 is 6.

So, we rewrite 2/3 as 4/6.

Now, we can add the fractions:

5/6 + 4/6 = 9/6

But 9/6 is an improper fraction. To convert it to a mixed number, we divide the numerator by the denominator:

9 ÷ 6 = 1 remainder 3

So, 9/6 = 1 3/6

But 3/6 can be simplified to 1/2 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3.

So, John ran 1 1/2 miles in total.
