It depends what the whole number and the fraction are?
1 + 1/2 = 1 1/2
2 + 3/4 = 2 3/4
2 + 5/4 = 3 1/4

It is called a mixed fraction
1 1/2 = 1 + 1/2
You can convert it to the improper fraction 3/2.

w = whole number
n = numerator of fraction
d = denominator of fraction
w + n/d
= wd/d + n/d
= (wd + n)/d
