A fraction represents a part of a whole and is expressed as $$\frac{a}{b}$$ , where 'a' is the numerator and 'b' is the denominator.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator.

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a proper fraction, such as 2 $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

Add the numerators and keep the same denominator. For example, $$\frac{1}{4} + \frac{2}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$$ .

Find a common denominator, convert the fractions, then add the numerators.
