Answer:

  2/3 or 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The given relation is ...

  x +1/x = 2 1/6

  x^2 +1 = (13/6)x

  6x^2 -13x +6 = 0 . . . . . subtract the right side and multiply by 6

  (6x -9)(6x -4)/6 = 0 . . . . factor

  (2x -3)(3x -2) = 0 . . . . . . simplify a bit

  x = 3/2  or  2/3 . . . . . . . . values of x that make the factors zero

The number is 2/3 or its reciprocal, 3/2.
