When we have mixed numbers, we have the sum of an integer and a fraction. Then we need to add both numbers following the rules for adding fractions:

$(a)/(b)+(c)/(d)=(a\cdot d+b\cdot c)/(b\cdot d)$

Now, we can add both numbers above:

$(9)/(1)+(5)/(7)=(9\cdot7+1\cdot5)/(1\cdot7)=\frac{63+5_{}}{7}=(68)/(7)$

And

If we see the number
