This big band arrangement explains the procedures for the addition and subtraction, multiplication and division of mixed numbers.
A mixed number
Is a number that is equal to the sum
Of a whole number and a fraction
That's why it's called a mixed number
To add or subtract mixed numbers
Add the whole numbers; add the fractions
Subtract the fractions; subtract the whole numbers
Rename as required
To multiply or divide mixed numbers
Rename them as improper fractions
The product of fractions is equal to
The product of the numerators
Divided by the product of denominators
To divide mixed numbers
Multiply the dividend
Times the reciprocal of the divisor
To determine the quotient
Oh yeah
