1 2/3 + 3 1/6 = 1 + 3 + 2/3 + 1/6 = 4 + 5/6 = 4 5/6

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.
you would convert the mixed numbers into fractions where the top number is greater than the bottom number, then multiply both the numerator and the denominator by a number that makes the denominators the same.
Before you can do that, you need to write each mixed number as an improper fraction, and then write both fractions with a common denominator. The only other choice is to write both mixed numbers as decimals, and then add them.
convert both to numbers with lowest common denominator then add
just find a common denominator and add the two numerators together then add the whole numbers
