Adding mixed numbers with unlike denominators?
First convert the mixed numbers into "top heavy (or "improper) fractions". Now multiply each of the improper fractions by each other - this makes the denominators the same. Now you can add both the fractions together (and cancel down if necessary).
What do you do to add fractions with common denominators?
