MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO ADD THESE FRACTIONS:
THE EASIEST IS TO CHANGE THEM TO DECIMALS THUS
9.5+16.5=26
---------------------------------------------
YOU CAN ALSO ADD THE WHOLE NUMBERS FIRST 9+16=25. NOW ADD THE FRACTIONS 1/2+1/2=1. NOW ADD THESE TWO PARTIAL SUMS 25=1=26
------------------------------------------------------------
ANOTHER METHOD IS TO CONVERT THESE MIXED NUMBERS TO IMPROPER FRACTIOONS.
9 1/2=19/2 & 16 1/2=33/2. NOW ADD THESE FRACTIONS 19/2+33/2=52/2=26
-----------------------------------------------------------------
ALL THESE METHODS WORK BUT SOME ARE EASIER TO USE WITH CERTAIN NUMBERS THAN OTHERS.
