It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled
"Adding Mixed Numbers" with several problems involving the addition of mixed numbers (a whole number and a fraction). Since I can't view images directly, I'll help you solve this type of problem step by step based on the format you described.
Let me assume the worksheet contains problems like:
1. $ 2\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{1}{4} $
2. $ 3\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{1}{5} $
3. $ 4\frac{2}{7} + 1\frac{3}{7} $
4. $ 5\frac{1}{6} + 2\frac{5}{6} $
5. $ 1\frac{3}{8} + 2\frac{5}{8} $
6. $ 6\frac{1}{4} + 3\frac{1}{2} $
7. $ 2\frac{1}{5} + 3\frac{2}{5} $
8. $ 4\frac{3}{10} + 1\frac{7}{10} $
9. $ 3\frac{1}{3} + 2\frac{1}{6} $
10. $ 5\frac{2}{5} + 1\frac{3}{5} $
I’ll walk through the method for solving these types of problems and then solve a few examples.

🔧 How to Add Mixed Numbers:
Step 1:
Convert each mixed number to an improper fraction.
- Multiply the whole number by the denominator.
- Add the numerator.
- Keep the same denominator.
Example:
$ 2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{(2 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} $
Step 2:
Find a common denominator if needed.
Step 3:
Add the fractions.
Step 4:
Convert back to a mixed number if the result is an improper fraction.

✔ Example Problem: $ 2\frac{1}{3} + 1\frac{1}{4} $
#### Step 1: Convert to improper fractions
- $ 2\frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} $
- $ 1\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{4} $
#### Step 2: Find common denominator
LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
- $ \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{28}{12} $
- $ \frac{5}{4} = \frac{5 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{15}{12} $
#### Step 3: Add
$ \frac{28}{12} + \frac{15}{12} = \frac{43}{12} $
#### Step 4: Convert to mixed number
$ \frac{43}{12} = 3\frac{7}{12} $
✔ Answer: $ 3\frac{7}{12} $

Let’s do another one: $ 3\frac{1}{2} + 2\frac{1}{5} $
- $ 3\frac{1}{2} = \frac{7}{2} $
- $ 2\frac{1}{5} = \frac{11}{5} $
LCM of 2 and 5 is 10.
- $ \frac{7}{2} = \frac{35}{10} $
- $ \frac{11}{5} = \frac{22}{10} $
Add: $ \frac{35}{10} + \frac{22}{10} = \frac{57}{10} = 5\frac{7}{10} $
✔ Answer: $ 5\frac{7}{10} $

Tip: When denominators are the same, just add the whole numbers and the fractions separately.
Example: $ 4\frac{2}{7} + 1\frac{3}{7} $
- Whole numbers: $ 4 + 1 = 5 $
- Fractions: $ \frac{2}{7} + \frac{3}{7} = \frac{5}{7} $
- Result: $ 5\frac{5}{7} $
✔ Answer: $ 5\frac{5}{7} $
