Add Fractions to Mixed Numbers

Use Add Fractions to Mixed Numbers first, then the unlike denominators page, then the to 30 and to 60 pages. The to 60 page leaves space under each problem.

Add a fraction to a mixed number in 12 problems like 4 4/9 + 3/4, regrouping when the fraction passes 1. The directions on the page read: Add. Regroup when the fraction part is more than 1. Write each answer in simplest form. An answer key is included.

Rename the fraction parts with a common denominator, add the fractions, then add the whole numbers. Regroup if the fraction part is more than 1, as in 4 5/12 + 7 3/4 = 12 1/6.

When the fraction parts add to more than 1, move one whole into the whole number part. For 2 11/12 + 1/8, the sum is 3 1/24.

Yes. All 4 sheets have an answer key with every sum in simplest form.
