You convert them both to improper fractions by multiplying the denominators by the whole number and then adding the numerator to it. This number goes in the numerator and the denominator stays the same. Then you do this for the other fraction, making sure that the denominators of each fraction are equivalent. Then add the fractions as normal.

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 mixed proper and improper fractions?
It is best to convert the mixed fraction to an improper fraction. They are then added together in the same way as proper fractions are added together.
How do you add a mixed fraction by a mixed fraction?
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 do add mixed improper fraction?
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Improper fractions can be added the same way proper fractions are.
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.

How do add mixed improper fraction?
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Improper fractions can be added the same way proper fractions are.
How do you find the average of a mixed fraction?
Same as any average. Add all the fractions and divide them by the amount of fractions
How do you add and subtract frations with a whole number with a fraction?
Express the mixed fraction as an improper fraction and then proceed as you would with ordinary fractions. If the answer is an improper fraction, then remember to convert to a mixed fraction.
How is adding mixed numbers different from adding fractions?
when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
How do you find a fraction or mixed number between 2 fractions or mixed number?
Add them together and divide the answer by 2.
How do you add mixed numbers with different denominators?
First convert them t top-heavy fractions. Treat these as you would ordinary fractions: find common denominator and so on. At the end, convert the top heave fraction back to a mixed fraction.
When asked to find the sum of two mixed numbers with different denominators you should before you add?
Convert the fractions into equivalent fractions with the same denominator. In actually adding mixed numbers, it is easier to convert the mixed numbers into improper (top heavy) fractions, do the addition, simplify the resulting fraction and convert any resulting improper fraction back into a mixed number.

If the negative fraction has a smaller absolute value than the mixed fraction, you may need to borrow or regroup to ensure proper subtraction.
How is dividing mixed numbers the same as dividing fractions?
A mixed number can be converted into an improper fraction. Mixed numbers as improper fractions can be divided just like any other fraction. To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the original numerator to give the new numerator and put this over the original denominator.
