You can either
add the fractional parts and, if required, convert the answer to a mixed fraction and then add the integer part to the integer parts of the two original numbers;
or
change both numbers to top-heavy (or improper) fractions, add them and then convert the answer to a mixed fraction.

How to add mixed fractions?
you can't add nor subtract mixed fractions so you need to turn it into a fraction, if you wanna turn a mixed fraction into a fraction you need to multiply the whole number by the denominator, then add the numerator, then you can multiply normally (make sure you simplify and turn it into a mixed fraction your answer)
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 add a negative fraction to a mixed fraction?
To add a negative fraction to a mixed fraction, first convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. Then, find a common denominator for both fractions. Next, add the numerators and keep the common denominator. Finally, simplify the resulting fraction if needed. If the negative fraction has a smaller absolute value than the mixed fraction, you may need to borrow or regroup to ensure proper subtraction.
What is process of adding when you add a fraction to a fraction but the sum comes a mixed fraction?
The process is still that of addition.
How do you turn a mixed fraction to an improper fraction?
multiply the denominator by the whole number then add the numerator and you have an improper fraction
