1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$\frac{m}{3} + \frac{2m}{3}$$.
2. **Formula and rules:** When adding or subtracting rational expressions with the same denominator, keep the denominator and add or subtract the numerators.
3. **Apply the rule:** Since both terms have denominator 3, add the numerators:
$$\frac{m}{3} + \frac{2m}{3} = \frac{m + 2m}{3}$$
4. **Simplify the numerator:**
$$m + 2m = 3m$$
5. **Substitute back:**
$$\frac{3m}{3}$$
6. **Cancel common factors:**
$$\frac{\cancel{3}m}{\cancel{3}} = m$$
7. **Final answer:**
$$m$$
This means the sum of $$\frac{m}{3}$$ and $$\frac{2m}{3}$$ simplifies to $$m$$.
