\(a)\dfrac{5}{12}+\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{2}{12}+\dfrac{2}{3}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{5}{12}+\dfrac{2}{12}\right)+\left(\dfrac{5}{3}+\dfrac{2}{3}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{7}{12}+\dfrac{7}{3}\)
\(=\dfrac{7}{12}+\dfrac{28}{12}\)
\(=\dfrac{35}{12}\)
\(b)\dfrac{5}{9}.\dfrac{7}{13}+\dfrac{5}{9}-\dfrac{5}{9}.\dfrac{3}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{9}.1.\dfrac{7}{13}+\dfrac{5}{9}-\dfrac{5}{9}.\dfrac{3}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{9}.\left(1+\dfrac{7}{13}-\dfrac{3}{13}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{9}.\dfrac{17}{13}\)
\(=\dfrac{85}{117}\)
