Fraction Operations and Mixed Numbers

In this video, Mr. J explains how to add mixed numbers through a step-by-step example. The process involves rewriting the problem vertically, finding a common denominator by determining the least common multiple, renaming the fractions with this common denominator, and then adding both the fractional and whole number parts. The video concludes with a final answer and a reminder to check for simplification.
