a: \(=0.5\cdot10-\dfrac{1}{7}+15=20-\dfrac{1}{7}=\dfrac{139}{7}\)
b: \(=6\cdot\dfrac{-2}{3}+12\cdot\dfrac{4}{9}+18\cdot\dfrac{-8}{27}\)
\(=-4+\dfrac{16}{3}-\dfrac{16}{3}=-4\)
c: \(=\left(\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{3}{8}-\dfrac{5}{8}+\dfrac{2}{3}\right):\left(\dfrac{17}{2}+\dfrac{49}{4}-\dfrac{17}{8}+\dfrac{34}{15}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{35}{12}:\dfrac{2507}{120}=\dfrac{350}{2507}\)
