You need to understand that a mixed number such as 5 1/3 really means 5 plus 1/3. You can do your calculations accordingly. To add and subtract, you can add and subtract the whole part and the fractional part separately. To multiply or divide, you can convert the numbers to improper fractions first - though in some cases it is easier to use the distributive property.
