How do you add a mixed number and an improper fraction?
I wouldconvert both to improper fraction,find a common multiple (CM),calculate equivalent fraction with CM as the denominator,add the numerators,change the improper fraction to a mixed fraction, if required,simplify the fractional part of the mixed fraction - if appropriate and required.
How do you turn a mixed fraction to an improper fraction?

How do you add a mixed fraction by a mixed fraction?
You can either add the fractional parts and, if required, convert the answer to a mixed fraction and then add the integer part to the integer parts of the two original numbers; or change both numbers to top-heavy (or improper) fractions, add them and then convert the answer to a mixed fraction.
How do you write a mixed number as an equivalent fraction?
To convert a mixed number to an improper fraction, multiply whole number part by the denominator of the fraction part, then add the numerator to the product. The result is the numerator of the improper fraction. The denominator remains the same. For example, to convert 2 3/8 to an improper fraction, multiply 2*8 = 16, then add 3 to get 19. The improper fraction is 19/8.

How do you make a mixed number in to an improper fraction?
The mixed number consists of a whole number and a fraction. Multiply the denominator of the fraction portion by the whole number and to this product add the numerator of the fraction portion. This value is the numerator of the new improper fraction. The denominator of the new improper fraction is the same as the denominator of the original fraction portion of the mixed number.
