Answer:

do you mean how would you solve it? well you turn it into an improper fraction which means you multiply the big number by the denominator and add the product with the numerator and do the same thing for the other fraction, once that's done make sure the denominator on both fractions is the same and add or subtract the numerators.

Explanation:

for example 3 4/5 + 5 4/5 = 19/5 + 29/5 = 48/5
