If the denominators are different, find a common denominator, convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with the same denominator, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible. If the denominators are the same, skip the conversion, proceed with adding the numerators, put that total over the denominator, simplify if possible.

Improper fractions have numerators that are greater than or equal to their denominators.
No, they are improper fractions. They can be equivalent to integers if the numerator is a multiple of the denominator.
proper factions are fractions under a whole number improper fractions are Example: proper: 1/2 improper: 3/2
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.
here is an example if you want to convert an improper fraction 5 and 3\4 you would multiply the denominator 4 and the whole number 5 and then you add 3 the nominator so the answer would be 23 over 4
