3 1/6 = 3 3/18    8 2/9 = 8 4/18   1 1/2 = 1 9/18.  Now add all the numerators of the fractions together  that equals 16so your fraction is 16/18 Now add all your whole numbers together that equals 12.  So now you have 12 16/18   now reduce to lowest terms  equals  12 8/9

You have to make those an improper fraction then you do is add then you subtract
