\(8 \frac{1}{2} +1 \frac{2}{6}\) is your problem

You need to convert the denominators so that they are the same

But aside the whole numbers for now so get \(\frac{1}{2}\) and multiply both sides by 3 so that it is \(\frac{3}{6}\)

Now get the mixed fractions and add them

\(8 \frac{1}{2}\) + \(1 \frac{2}{6} = 9 \frac{5}{6}\)


Answer: \(9 \frac{5}{6}\)

First write out the problem, 
8 1/2-1 2/6
Next find a common denominator, because 2 goes into 6, 3 times are common denominator is going to be 6.
So now we take 13=3 and 23=6 = 8 3/6 
Now Add
8 3/6+1 2/6=9 5/6
Giving us are end answer of 9 5/6
