Quick reminder on adding or subtracting fractions and mixed numbers

When adding or subtraction fractions with mixed numbers, always change the mixed number into an improper fraction.  We do this by multipling the denominator by the whole number then adding the numerator to create a NEW numerator.  See example below.

Don't forget you have to find a common denominator before you add or subtract.
