It is a fraction - which may be mixed or proper.
It is a mixed fraction.
When the sum of the negatives is an integer is when the sum is a whole number
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.

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.
No. Each mixed number is made of a whole number and a fraction. When you add them, you have the sum of two whole numbers and two fractions. Since each whole number must be at least ' 1 ', the sum of two whole numbers must be at least ' 2 ', and the two fractions will always make it more than ' 2 '.

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.
Correct.
