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.

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.


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.

How can you find a sum for a mixed number?

To find a sum for a mixed number you have to put the whole numbers aside and add them first, then you add the fraction part. If the denominators are different change them to the lowest common factor e.g 2 3/4 + 5 5/6 =2+5= 7 = 3/4 + 5/6= 3/12 + 5/12 = 7 8/12. I hope this helped!
