1. to add a mixed fraction you must first turn all the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2. ex-2 and 2/3 = 8/3

3. (you multiply the big number by the denominator and then add that number to the numerator......the number you have now is the new numerator and the denominator stays the same)

4. Then you have to make the denominators the same. You do this by multiplying whole numbers to the entire fraction until the denominators are the same.

5. When the denominators are the same.... to add all you do is add the numerators (don't add the denominators!).

6. Your answer should be a new numerator over the old denominator.

7. If your answer is an improper fraction turn it back into a mixed number (by dividing the denominator into the numerator).

8. ex- 8/3......3 goes into 8 2 times......leaving 2(because 8 - 6 = 2)......then put the two over the old denominator :3......egualing 2 and 2/3.

9. Hope this helped.
