1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $1 \frac{1}{2} \div \left( \frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6} \right) + 2$.
2. **Convert mixed number to improper fraction:**
$$1 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2}$$
3. **Add the fractions inside the parentheses:**
$$\frac{1}{3} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{2}{6} + \frac{5}{6} = \frac{7}{6}$$
4. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$\frac{3}{2} \div \frac{7}{6} + 2$$
5. **Division of fractions rule:**
$$\frac{a}{b} \div \frac{c}{d} = \frac{a}{b} \times \frac{d}{c}$$
6. **Apply the division rule:**
$$\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{6}{7} + 2$$
7. **Multiply the fractions:**
$$\frac{3 \times 6}{2 \times 7} + 2 = \frac{18}{14} + 2$$
8. **Simplify the fraction by canceling common factors:**
$$\frac{\cancel{18}^{9}}{\cancel{14}^{7}} + 2 = \frac{9}{7} + 2$$
9. **Convert 2 to fraction with denominator 7:**
$$2 = \frac{14}{7}$$
10. **Add the fractions:**
$$\frac{9}{7} + \frac{14}{7} = \frac{23}{7}$$
11. **Final answer:**
$$\frac{23}{7}$$ or approximately 3.2857.
