a mixed number is a whole number with a fraction, ie. 2 3/4 Adding mixed numbers involves adding the whole numbers, then adding the fractions, then reducing the fraction and if it is improper, changing it to a whole number with a fraction and adding that whole number to the other whole number answer.
A mixed number is a fraction
The trick to adding fractions is three simple steps. First, make sure the bottom numbers (the denominators) are the same. Secondly, add the top numbers (the numerators), put the answer over the denominator. Finally, simplify the fraction if need be.
Subtracting a fraction is the same as adding its negative.

when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
