HAWKES LEARNING SYSTEMS Students Matter. Success Counts. Copyright © 2013 by Hawkes Learning Systems/Quant Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. Example 3: Adding Mixed Numbers Find the sum: Solution Since the whole number 2 has no fraction part, we must be careful to align the whole numbers if we write the numbers vertically.

Example 4: Application of Adding with Mixed Numbers A triangle has sides measuring meters, meters, and meters. Find the perimeter (total distance around) of the triangle. Solution We find the perimeter by adding the lengths of the three sides.
