A mixed number is made up of a whole number and a fraction.

One way to add and subtract mixed numbers is to
convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

First, convert

1 \frac{3}{8}

to an improper fraction.
Write 1 as an improper fraction

(\frac{8}{8})

, and add it to

\frac{3}{8}

\frac{8}{8} + \frac{3}{8} = \frac{11}{8}

Next, convert

2 \frac{1}{8}

to an improper fraction.
Write 2 as an improper fraction

(\frac{16}{8})

, and add it to

\frac{1}{8}

\frac{16}{8} + \frac{1}{8} = \frac{17}{8}

Then, add the improper fractions.

\frac{11}{8} + \frac{17}{8} = \frac{28}{8}

Another way to add or subtract mixed numbers
is to use properties of operations.

First, write each mixed number as an addition problem.

3 \frac{2}{3} = 3 + \frac{2}{3}

2 \frac{1}{3} = 2 + \frac{1}{3}

Next, subtract the mixed numbers.

(3 + \frac{2}{3}) - (2 + \frac{1}{3}) = 3 + \frac{2}{3} - 2 - \frac{1}{3}

Use the commutative property to rearrange the numbers so that the whole numbers and fractions are together.

3 - 2 + \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}

Use the associative property to group the whole numbers and fractions.

(3 - 2) + (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3})

Subtract, then add.

\begin{matrix} (3 - 2) + (\frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3}) & = & 1 + \frac{1}{3} \\ = & 1 \frac{1}{3} \end{matrix}
