Turn the mixed numbers into improper fractions, then simply add.

In order to turn mixed numbers into improper fractions, all we have to do is multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator:

$\frac{25}{9} + \frac{32}{9}$ $25/9+32/9$

From here, just add the fractions together:

$25 + 32 = 57$ $25+32=57$

$\frac{25}{9} + \frac{32}{9} = \frac{57}{9}$ $25/9+32/9=57/9$
