when you add mixed numbers you have a whole number but adding fraction does not.
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.
2 mixed numbers can only be a whole when the 2 numerators add up to the number
27.3 + 2.7
False [ I THINK ]
you have to add
You can either add the fractional parts and, if required, convert the answer to a mixed fraction and then add the integer part to the integer parts of the two original numbers; or change both numbers to top-heavy (or improper) fractions, add them and then convert the answer to a mixed fraction.

You can always do that.
just find a common denominator and add the two numerators together then add the whole numbers
To add mixed numbers and whole numbers, you simply treat the mixed numbers like they are whole numbers (4 3/4) turns to (4), then add the regular whole number, say, 7, and then re-add the fraction. For example, if you were adding 4 3/4 and 7, you would change 4 3/4 to 4, add 7 to get 11, then add the 3/4 back in, to give you 11 3/4.

Make it into an both numbers an improper fraction and then do the opperation.

1.7 + 1.3
7 7/12 plus 3 8/9
First change the mixed numbers into improper fractions by multiplying the denominator and the whole number and add the product to the numerator in the mixed numbers and then multiply the numerators and the denominators and divide the numerator by the denominator of the product.
