How to do it

Add the fractions, then the whole numbers. Carry if the fraction part is 1 or more.

213+856=2+8+26+562\tfrac{1}{3} + 8\tfrac{5}{6} = 2 + 8 + \dfrac{2}{6} + \dfrac{5}{6}add the wholes and the fractions separately
10+76=111610 + \dfrac{7}{6} = 11\tfrac{1}{6}carry if the fraction is 1 or more

Example problems

  1. 313+847=3\tfrac{1}{3} + 8\tfrac{4}{7} =
  2. 61011+967=6\tfrac{10}{11} + 9\tfrac{6}{7} =
  3. 914+425=9\tfrac{1}{4} + 4\tfrac{2}{5} =
