Practice Mixed Numbers in Math

Use these practice problems to test your method after reviewing the concept explanation and worked examples.

Quick Recap

A mixed number combines a whole number and a proper fraction, such as 3\frac{1}{4}, representing the sum of the whole part and fractional part: 3 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{13}{4}.

You ate 2 whole pizzas and \frac{3}{4} of a third pizzaβ€”that's 2\frac{3}{4} pizzas.

Example 1

easy
Add 1\frac{2}{5} + 2\frac{1}{5}.

Example 2

medium
Subtract 4\frac{1}{3} - 1\frac{3}{4}.

Example 3

easy
A recipe needs 2\frac{3}{4} cups of flour and 1\frac{1}{4} cups of sugar. How many cups of dry ingredients are needed in total?

Example 4

hard
Add 3\frac{5}{6} + 2\frac{3}{4}.

Example 5

medium
Multiply 2\frac{1}{3} \times 1\frac{1}{2}.
