To add and subtract mixed numbers, the steps are nearly identical to adding & subtracting with fractions, but you must also add/subtract the whole numbers.
Just as with whole numbers, regrouping may be necessary when adding and subtracting mixed numbers.
When adding, follow the same steps as with adding any other mixed numbers. The improper fraction must be changed to a mixed number, and added to the other whole numbers.
When subtracting, the borrowing must occur before the other calculations. Remember to add the denominator to the numerator, and subtract one from the whole number.
