Mixed numbers must be converted to improper fractions then dissimilar fractions must be converted into similar fractions by getting the LCD. Use the formula: (LCD/Denominator) x Numerator. The product will be the new numerator while the LCD will be the new denominator.

Other examples:

4 1/8 + 2 3/16

33/8 + 35/16

66/16 + 35/16

= 101/16

= 6 5/16

6/5 + 9/10

12/10 + 9/10

= 21/10

= 2 1/10

19/20 + 2 13/20

19/20 + 53/20

= 72/20

= 3 12/20
