Step 1: Convert both the mixed fractions to improper fractions. Therefore, 22 3 2 2 3 will become 8/3; and 1 1 3 1 1 3 will become 4/3. Step 2: Add the fractions by adding the numerators because the denominators are the same. This will be 8/3 + 4/3 = 12/3. Step 3: Reduce the fraction, if required.

Add the whole numbers together.
The whole numbers are 1 and 2, so 1+2 =3.
Find the lowest common denominator (LCD) of both fractions.
The LCD is the lowest number that is evenly divisible by both numbers.
One way to find the LCD is just to write out the multiples of each denominator and see where they match for the first time. Since the denominators of the fractions are 2 and 4, the LCD is 4, because 4 is the smallest number that is divisible by both 2 and 4.
Convert the fractions to have the LCD as their denominator.
Convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
You can do this by multiplying the denominator and whole number of a mixed number, and then adding this to the numerator of the fraction of the mixed number.
Your answer will be the new numerator while the denominator remains the same.
To convert 1 1/2 to a mixed number, multiply the whole number 1 by the denominator 2, and then add it to the numerator. Put your new answer over the original base.
1 * 2 = 2, and 2 + 1 = 3. Place the answer 3 over the original denominator and you have 3/2.
To convert 2 3/4 to a mixed number, multiply the whole number 2 by the denominator 4. 2 * 4 = 8.
Step I: We add the whole numbers, separately. Step II: To add fractions, we take L.C.M. of the denominators and change the fractions into like fractions. Step III: We find the sum of the whole numbers and the fractions in the simplest form. Method 2: 2 35 3 5 + 1 310 3 10. = (5 × 2) + 35 3 5 + (10 × 1) + 310 3 10.

In the video below (also available at my Youtube channel) we study adding mixed numbers when their fractional parts are like fractions. This is not a difficult concept - all you need to remember is that if the sum of the fractional parts is more than 1, you need to convert that to "whole pies" and to a "leftover" fraction.
