A step by step mixed numbers calcuator is presented. The detailed steps help you understand the process of adding mixed numbers.
Steps to add mixed numbers:
Step 1 : rewrite the addition separating whole parts and fractiona parts
\[ \displaystyle \color{red}{ 2 } \color{blue}{ \frac{1}{4}} + \color{red}{ 3 } \color{blue}{\frac{2}{5}} = \color{red}{(2+3)} + \color{blue}{ (\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{5})} \]
Step 2 : add the fractions
\[ \displaystyle \color{blue}{ (\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{5})} = \frac{13}{20} \]
Step 3 : add the whole parts and the sum of the fractions and simplify
\[ \displaystyle \displaystyle \color{red}{ 2 } \color{blue}{ \frac{1}{4}} + \color{red}{ 3 } \color{blue}{\frac{2}{5}} = \color{red}{ 2 + 5 } + \color{blue}{ (\frac{1}{4}+\frac{2}{5})} = 5 \frac{13}{20} \]
Enter whole numbers for the whole parts, numerators and denominators. No negative numbers are accepted.
