How Do You Add Mixed Fractions with the Same Denominator by Converting to Improper Fractions?
Note:
Adding mixed fractions? You could first convert each to an improper fraction. If they have common denominators, then you could add the fractions together, simplify, and convert the answer back to a mixed fraction. In this tutorial, take a look at adding together mixed fractions!
Background Tutorials
-
Add and subtract mixed numbers with like denominators, e.g., by replacing each mixed number with an equivalent fraction, and/or by using properties of operations and the relationship between addition and subtraction.
-
What's a Mixed Number?
Fractions come in all sorts of flavors, and in this tutorial you'll learn how to recognize mixed numbers.

Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative. Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses). Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

How Do You Add Fractions with the Same Denominator?
While adding fractions can be hard, adding fractions with the same denominator is just as easy as adding numbers. That's why when you add fractions you first get all of them to have the same denominator, and then add them up. In this tutorial you get to see just how easy it is to add up fractions once they have the same denominator!

How Do You Add Mixed Fractions with Different Denominators by Converting to Improper Fractions?
Adding mixed fractions? You could first convert each to an improper fraction. If they don't have common denominators, then find a common denominator and use it to rewrite each fraction. Then, add the fractions together and simplify. In this tutorial, take a look at adding together mixed fractions with unlike denominators!
