<\/p>\nA mixed number is a number that has a whole number part and a fractional part.<\/p>\n
Here is a visual representation of a mixed number.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This model shows two rectangles that are shaded completely, which represents whole numbers, and one rectangle that is shaded partially, which represents a fraction.<\/p>\n
This fraction model represents the mixed number \\(2\\frac{3}{8}\\).<\/p>\n
When adding a mixed number with a whole number, we first add the whole numbers, then include the fraction.<\/p>\n
What is the sum of \\(11\\frac{2}{3}\\) and \\(19\\)?<\/p>\n
We will start by adding the whole numbers, which is \\(11+19=30\\). Then we add the fractional part to the end.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the sum of \\(11\\frac{2}{3}\\) and \\(19\\) is \\(30\\frac{2}{3}\\).<\/p>\n
Monica picks two bags of peaches to buy at the Farmer\u2019s Market. She places each bag on the scale and the first bag weighs \\(5\\) lbs. and the second bag weighs \\(6\\frac{2}{3}\\) lbs. How many pounds of peaches does Monica buy?<\/p>\n
When adding a whole number and a fraction we first add the whole numbers, then we include the fraction.<\/p>\n
\\(5+6=11\\), now we include \\(\\frac{2}{3}\\), therefore, Monica buys a total of \\(11\\frac{2}{3}\\) lbs. of peaches.<\/p>\n Here are a few sample questions going over adding fractions with whole numbers. ![\"Click](\"https:\/\/www.mometrix.com\/academy\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/imcr20-New.png\")
