I have no idea what the "sum" of a fraction means.
the sum the sum
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.
1/10 , 3/10 , 6/10 . Their sum is (1+3+6)/10 = 10/10 = 1
If I had some fractions, I might. But since I don't, I won't.

The same way that you calculate the average for any other numbers. Sum the fractions and divide the total by the number of fractions.
find the lowest common denominator
First add all the fractions together. Then, divide this sum by the total number of fractions that were in the set. This quotient is your average fraction.
Numerators
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.
the sum the sum
All fractions are rational numbers because irrational numbers can't be expressed as fractions
By using addition.
There are an infinite number of different fractions between two fractions. If you want the one that's exactly in the middle, half-way between them, there's only one of those. It's called the "average" of the two fractions. Find it like this: -- Add the two fractions together. -- Divide the sum by 2 .
