Well, that's why we only use mixed fractions in solutions/answers because it is a hell to work with.
But, there are tricks to do it.
First, write mixed fractions as a combination of an integer and a proper fraction
By integer, we mean whole numbers, - 1000, -1, 0, 6, 20 etc.
By proper fraction, we mean a fraction p/q where both p and q are natural numbers, 1, 2, 3, 4, etc., they have no common factor and p <= q.
Now we have three in such form, let's say
a b/c, d e/f and g h/i
Now, write them by their definition
that is a b/c = a + b/c
so the sum of all 3 is
a + b/c + d + e/f +g + h/i
Addition is commutable and associative, so rearrange the operation
(a + d + g) + (b/c + e/f + h/i)
a + d + g are justing three integers, and the other half is adding proper fractions, easy as pie!
Let's say we get m = a + d + g and (o/p) = b/c + e/f + h/i,
then the answer is obvious m o/p
Oh, not so fast, we have to simplify o/p first --- first reduce it to lowest irreducible form, then write it in its mixed fraction form
say,
z x/y = o/p
then we combine them we get
(m + z) x/y is your solution.
A lot of symbols, might get lost.
Note: In higher calculations though, it is prefered never use mixed fractions operations because this trick will get very long. So the BEST way is to turn them into normal (non- proper/proper) fraction.
The three types of fractions are mixed, improper, and proper fractions.
Change them into mixed numbers and add the integers and fractions together ensuring that the fractions have a common denominator.

Yes.
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Improper fractions can be added the same way proper fractions are.

Two thirds and three fourths can be renamed as fractions with 12 of the denominator as 8/12 and 9/12 respectively. The sum of the renamed fractions as a mixed number is 1 5/12.

irregular fractions! ex. if the equation is 2 3/4, you would multiply 2*4, then add three. that is your numerator, denominator will stay the same. it will =11/4
Mixed numbers can be converted to improper fractions. Improper fractions can be added the same way proper fractions are.
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.
Find a common denominator, add the numerators, simplify if possible.
Same as any average. Add all the fractions and divide them by the amount of 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.
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)
