Only if one of them is negative, eg:

31/2 + (-11/2) = 2

Otherwise both are positive and no:

A mixed number has a whole number greater than or equal to one plus a fractional bit, ie a mixed number is of the form 1a/b (1 and a fraction), 2a/b (2 and a fraction), 3a/b (3 and a fraction), etc

Adding two such numbers together must be at least:

(1 and a fraction) + (1 and a fraction) = 2 + (the sum of the fractions)

which must be greater than 2 and cannot equal 2 (as both the fraction are positive and their sum is greater than zero).

No. Each mixed number is made of a whole number and a fraction. When you add them, you have the sum of two whole numbers and two fractions. Since each whole number must be at least ' 1 ', the sum of two whole numbers must be at least ' 2 ', and the two fractions will always make it more than ' 2 '.
