First rewrite the mixed number as a whole number plus a fraction.

2 + 1/4 + 3 + 1/2

Change the order of the numbers so that all the whole numbers are added first, followed by the fractions.

5 + 1/4 + 2/4

Add the whole numbers together and find a common denominator for the fractions.

5 + 3/4

Add the fractions.

5 + 3/4

Rewrite as a mixed expression or an improper fraction.
