I would

  • convert both to improper fraction,
  • find a common multiple (CM),
  • calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,
  • add the numerators,
  • change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,
  • simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.

To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator to the product. The result is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 3/8 to an improper fraction, multiply 2*8 = 16, then add 3 to get 19. The improper fraction is 19/8.
