If you want to add or subtract fractions and mixed numbers you have to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction. Then you need to find a common denominator for both fractions. You can then perform the operation.
For example:
If you want to add 3/4 and 10 2/3, you have to first convert the 10 2/3 to an improper fraction, which is 32/3. Next you have to find the common denominator for both fractions. 3 x 4 = 12, so 12 is the lowest common denominator; therefore, 3/4 = 9/12 and 32/3 = 128/12.
Now you can perform the operation:
128/12 + 9/12 = 137/12; convert 137/12 to a mixed number by dividing 137 by 12, which is 11 with a remainder of 5; 137/12 becomes 11 5/12.

How do you add a mixed number and an improper fraction?
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
How do you turn a mixed fraction to an improper fraction?

The mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. Multiply the denominator of the fraction portion by the whole number and to this product add the numerator of the fraction portion. This value is the numerator of the new improper fraction. The denominator of the new improper fraction is the same as the denominator of the original fraction portion of the mixed number.

How do your borrow from a whole number when subtracting fractions?
A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction. A fraction is a number that is less than whole and that has a denominator underneath a numerator. To add or subtract mixed numbers, add or subtract the fractions, then add or subtract the whole numbers. If the fraction portion of a mixed number, such as 2 5/6, is more than the fraction portion of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from, such as 3 1/6, you must borrow from the whole number of the mixed number you're trying to subtract from to make its fraction bigger...
