Step-by-step solution for: Grade 6 Adding Mixed Numbers Worksheets | Math Worksheets
Here are the step-by-step solutions for each problem. To add mixed numbers, we first add the whole numbers together, then find a common denominator to add the fractions, and finally combine them.
1. $2\frac{1}{4} + 3\frac{1}{3}$
* Add whole numbers: $2 + 3 = 5$
* Add fractions: The common denominator for 4 and 3 is 12.
* $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}$
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}$
* $\frac{3}{12} + \frac{4}{12} = \frac{7}{12}$
* Combine: $5\frac{7}{12}$
2. $5\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{2}{5}$
* Add whole numbers: $5 + 1 = 6$
* Add fractions: The common denominator for 3 and 5 is 15.
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{15}$
* $\frac{2}{5} = \frac{6}{15}$
* $\frac{5}{15} + \frac{6}{15} = \frac{11}{15}$
* Combine: $6\frac{11}{15}$
3. $4\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{1}{5}$
* Add whole numbers: $4 + 2 = 6$
* Add fractions: The common denominator for 2 and 5 is 10.
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10}$
* $\frac{1}{5} = \frac{2}{10}$
* $\frac{5}{10} + \frac{2}{10} = \frac{7}{10}$
* Combine: $6\frac{7}{10}$
4. $6\frac{1}{3} + 3\frac{1}{6}$
* Add whole numbers: $6 + 3 = 9$
* Add fractions: The common denominator for 3 and 6 is 6.
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$
* $\frac{2}{6} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{3}{6}$
* Simplify fraction: $\frac{3}{6}$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{2}$
* Combine: $9\frac{1}{2}$
5. $2\frac{1}{7} + 2\frac{3}{4}$
* Add whole numbers: $2 + 2 = 4$
* Add fractions: The common denominator for 7 and 4 is 28.
* $\frac{1}{7} = \frac{4}{28}$
* $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{21}{28}$
* $\frac{4}{28} + \frac{21}{28} = \frac{25}{28}$
* Combine: $4\frac{25}{28}$

* $\frac{4}{5} = \frac{8}{10}$
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10}$
* $\frac{8}{10} + \frac{5}{10} = \frac{13}{10}$
* Convert improper fraction: $\frac{13}{10} = 1\frac{3}{10}$
* Add to whole number sum: $9 + 1\frac{3}{10} = 10\frac{3}{10}$
