Answer: $5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The height of the wall under the window = $2\frac{2}{3}=\frac{8}{3}\ feet$

The height of the window = $2\frac{3}{4}=\frac{11}{4}\ feet$

Now, the combined height from the floor to the window's top = $\frac{8}{3}+\frac{11}{4}=\frac{32+33}{12}=\frac{65}{12}=5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$

Thus, the drapes need to be $5\frac{5}{12}\ feet$ .

The total of 2 2/3 and 2 3/4 amounts to 5 5/12, indicating that the drapes must be 5 5/12 feet in length (equivalent to 5 feet 5 inches).
