<h1 class="center">Adding and Subtracting Mixed Fractions</h1>
<p class="center"><i>A <a href="../mixed-fractions.html">Mixed Fraction</a> is a<br>
</i> <i>whole number and a fraction combined:</i></p>
<table style="border: 0; margin:auto;">
<tbody>
<tr style="text-align:center;">
<td><img src="../images/fractions/pizza-1-1.svg" alt="1 whole pizza" height="" width=""><img src="../images/fractions/pizza-3-4.svg" alt="3/4" height="" width=""></td>
<td rowspan="3">
<br></td>
</tr>
<tr style="text-align:center;">
<td class="larger">1 <span class="intbl"><em>3</em><strong>4</strong></span></td>
</tr>
<tr style="text-align:center;">
<td><i>(one and three-quarters)</i></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>To make it easy to add and subtract them, just convert to Improper Fractions first:</p>
<p class="center"><i>An <a href="../improper-fractions.html">Improper fraction</a> has a<br>
top number larger than or equal to<br>
the bottom number:</i><i></i></p>
<table style="border: 0; margin:auto;">
<tbody>
<tr style="text-align:center;">

<br></td>
</tr>
<tr style="text-align:center;">
<td class="larger"><span class="intbl"><em>7</em><strong>4</strong></span></td>
</tr>
<tr style="text-align:center;">
<td><i>(seven-fourths or seven-quarters)</i></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
<p>Can you see that <span class="larger">1<span class="intbl"><em>3</em><strong>4</strong></span></span> is the same as <span class="larger intbl"><em>7</em><strong>4</strong></span> ?</p>
<p>In other words "one and three quarters" is the same as "seven quarters".</p>
<p><i>(You may like to read how to <a href="../mixed-fractions.html">Convert from or to Mixed Fractions</a>)</i></p>
<p></p>
<h2>Adding Mixed Fractions</h2>
<p>To add mixed fractions:</p>
<ul>
<li>convert them to <a href="../improper-fractions.html">Improper Fractions</a></li>
<li>then add them (using <a href="../fractions_addition.html">Addition of Fractions</a>)</li>
<li>then convert back to Mixed Fractions</li>
</ul>Like this:<br><div class="example">
<h3>Example: What is&nbsp; 2 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;+&nbsp; 3 <span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span>&nbsp; ?</h3>
<p>Convert to Improper Fractions:</p>
<p class="center">2 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>11</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center">3 <span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>7</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span></p>
<p><a href="common-denominator.html">Common denominator</a> of 4:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>11</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;stays as&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>11</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>7</em>
<strong>2</strong>
</span> &nbsp;becomes&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>14</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span><br>
<i>(by multiplying top and bottom by 2)</i></p>
<p>Now Add:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>11</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;+&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>14</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>25</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Convert back to Mixed Fractions:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>25</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; 6 <span class="intbl">
<em>1</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<p>When you get more experience you can do it faster like this example:</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: What is&nbsp; 3 <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;+&nbsp; 1 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></h3>
<p>Convert them to improper fractions:</p>
<p class="center">3 <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>29</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span><br>
1 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>7</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Make same denominator:&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>7</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;becomes&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>14</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;(by multiplying top and bottom by 2)</p>
<p>And add:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>29</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;+&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>14</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>43</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; 5 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>8</strong>
</span></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Subtracting Mixed Fractions</h2>
<p>Just follow the same method, but subtract instead of add:</p>
<div class="example">
<h3>Example: What is&nbsp; 15 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&nbsp; 8 <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>6</strong>
</span> &nbsp;?</h3>
<p>Convert to Improper Fractions:</p>
<p class="center">15 <span class="intbl">
<em>3</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>63</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center">8 <span class="intbl">
<em>5</em>
<strong>6</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>53</em>
<strong>6</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Common denominator of 12:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>63</em>
<strong>4</strong>
</span> &nbsp;becomes&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>189</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>53</em>
<strong>6</strong>
</span> &nbsp;becomes&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>106</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Now Subtract:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>189</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span> &nbsp;&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>106</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; <span class="intbl">
<em>83</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
<p>Convert back to Mixed Fractions:</p>
<p class="center"><span class="intbl">
<em>83</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span> &nbsp;=&nbsp; 6 <span class="intbl">
<em>11</em>
<strong>12</strong>
</span></p>
