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.
Two mixed numbers with different denominators that add up to three and four-fifths are 2 and 1/5, and 1 and 3/5. When you add 2 + 1/5 and 1 + 3/5, you get 3 + 4/5, which equals three and four-fifths.
convert both to numbers with lowest common denominator then add
When the sum of the negatives is an integer is when the sum is a whole number
it can be any value mixed numbers can and usually are translated into regular numbers

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.
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.
There is no answer because there are no mixed #.

No.

no
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!
Yes
Well, honey, it's not always necessary to rename the fractional sum when adding mixed numbers, but it can make your life a whole lot easier. Renaming the sum helps simplify the calculation and makes it easier to work with the fractions. So, go ahead and rename that sum if you want to save yourself some headache.
