You know the two are equivalent if you turn the mixed number(the number with the whole number) into an improper fraction and see if it matches. You do this by taking the denominator and multiplying it by the whole number and add the numerator to it. The denominator remains the same. Ex. 9/1/2 would be 19/2 when it has been converted.

How do you add mixed fractions with another mixed fraction?

You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.
