What is a mixed number? A mixed number is a number consisting of a whole number and a proper fraction.

Yes, the sum of two mixed numbers can be equal to 2 but only of one of the mixed numbers is negative.

Adding mixed numbers is a lot like adding fractions, the key is that you have to add the fractions first. In some cases, the sum of two fractions can make a whole number. If that happens, you can add the whole numbers all at once after you have added the fractions.

First, write the mixed number as a sum of a whole number and a proper fraction. Then write the two parts with common denominator , and add. Once you’re used to this, you can use a shortcut method: 1) Multiply the whole part by the denominator of the fractional part, and add the numerator of the fractional part.

Multiply the numerators from each fraction to each other and place the product at the top. Multiply the denominators of each fraction by each other (the numbers on the bottom). The product is the denominator of the new fraction. Simplify or reduce the final answer to the lowest terms possible.

Here are the steps for dividing mixed numbers.

1. Change each mixed number to an improper fraction.
2. Multiply by the reciprocal of the divisor, simplifying if possible.
3. Put answer in lowest terms.
4. Check to be sure the answer makes sense.

To Divide a Fraction by a Whole Number:

1. Multiply the bottom number of the fraction by the whole number.
2. Simplify the fraction (if needed)

Here’s how to multiply or divide mixed numbers….As a second example, suppose you want to divide 3-2/3 by 1-4/7.

1. Convert to improper fractions.
2. Divide these improper fractions. Divide fractions by multiplying the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second:
3. Convert the answer to a mixed number.

Steps to multiply using Long Multiplication

1. Write the two numbers one below the other as per the places of their digits.
2. Multiply ones digit of the top number by the ones digit of the bottom number.
3. Multiply the tens digit of the top number by the ones digit of the bottom number.
4. Write a 0 below the ones digit as shown.

The steps are the same whether you’re adding or subtracting mixed numbers:

1. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD)
2. Find the equivalent fractions.
3. Add or subtract the fractions and add or subtract the whole numbers.
4. Write your answer in lowest terms.

The fractions have the same denominators so you can start by adding the first two fractions. Add the fractions before adding the whole numbers. Then, take the sum and subtract the third fraction. Subtract the fractions before subtracting the whole numbers.

A mixed number is a whole number, and a proper fraction represented together. It generally represents a number between any two whole numbers. Look at the given image, it represents a fraction that is greater than 1 but less than 2. It is thus, a mixed number.

Here, rewriting the improper fraction 9/4 as a mixed number gives us 9/4 = 2 ¼.

94 is already in the simplest form. It can be written as 2.25 in decimal form (rounded to 6 decimal places).

For 9/2, the numerator is 9. Denominator. This is the number below the fraction line. For 9/2, the denominator is 2….Now let’s go through the steps needed to convert 9/2 to a mixed number.

1. Step 1: Find the whole number.
2. Step 2: Get the new numerator.
3. Step 3: Our mixed fraction.
4. Step 4: Simplifying our fraction.

Steps to simplifying fractions Therefore, 3/9 simplified to lowest terms is 1/3.

Thus, 1/3 is the simplified fraction for 3/9 by using the GCD or HCF method.
