To add mixed numbers with like denominators, first add the whole numbers, then add the fractions. For example:

2 2/3 + 4 1/3 = ??

First add the whole numbers.

2 2/3 + 4 1/3 = 6?

Then add the fractions.

2 2/3 + 4 1/3 = 6 3/3

Simplify. 3/3 is one.

2 2/3 + 4 1/3 = 6 + 1 = 7.

How do you add and subtract mixed numbers?

SUBTRACTION: You first turn both mixed numbers into improper fractions. If needed, change the denominators into like denominators. Next, subtract the two improper fractions and reduce if necessary. ADDITION: If needed, turn denominators so they are the same number. Next, add and reduce if necessary.

How do you find the sum of two mixed numbers?

To find the sum of two mixed numbers, turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions (multiply the base with the denominator and add the numerator), then add the two fractions. To add the two fractions, find the LCD (lowest common denominator) and add the two numerators, but leave the denominators the same.


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).
