by multiplying the whole number by one like below:
E.g. 4+ 2/4 = 4*(4/4) + 2/4 = 16/4 + 2/4 = (16+2)/4 = 18/4 = 9/2
4/4 = 1
You write it as 4/4 so that the whole number and the fraction have a common denominator (the number on the bottom). Once both numbers have the same denominator you can add the numerators (the numbers on the top) and divide it by the common denominator.
