I think you are mixing two or more different concepts.
2 1/4 is a mixed number. (mixed because it has a whole number "2" and a fraction "1/4")
9/4 is an improper fraction. It is improper because the top number of a fraction (numerator) is supposed to be a smaller number than the bottom number (denominator).
2 1/4 = 9/4 These are equal amounts...they are the same thing...just written in a different form. For example in English I say "cat" but in spanish I say "gato." Whether I say it in English or spanish...it is the same thing.
So...the sum of any two mixed numbers can "be written" as an improper fraction.

When dividing a fraction you leave the first fraction as it is and you change the second fraction into a reciprocal (flip the fraction).
