a. \(\dfrac{-4}{9}\) . \(\dfrac{7}{15}+\dfrac{4}{-9}.\dfrac{8}{15}\) = \(\dfrac{-4}{9}.\left(\dfrac{7}{15}+\dfrac{8}{15}\right)\) = \(\dfrac{-4}{9}\) . 1 = \(\dfrac{-4}{9}\)
b. \(\dfrac{5}{-4}.\dfrac{16}{25}+\dfrac{-5}{4}.\dfrac{9}{25}\) = \(\dfrac{-5}{4}.\left(\dfrac{16}{25}+\dfrac{6}{25}\right)\) = \(\dfrac{-5}{4}.1\) = \(\dfrac{-5}{4}\)
c. \(4\dfrac{11}{23}-\dfrac{9}{14}+2\dfrac{12}{23}-\dfrac{5}{4}\) = \(\left(4\dfrac{11}{23}+2\dfrac{12}{23}\right)\) \(-\dfrac{9}{14}-\dfrac{5}{4}\) = \(\dfrac{68}{23}-\dfrac{9}{14}-\dfrac{5}{4}\) = \(\dfrac{745}{322}\) - \(\dfrac{5}{4}=\dfrac{685}{644}\)
d. \(2\dfrac{13}{27}-\dfrac{7}{15}+3\dfrac{14}{27}-\dfrac{8}{15}\) = \(\left(2\dfrac{13}{27}+3\dfrac{14}{27}\right)\) - \(\left(\dfrac{7}{15}-\dfrac{8}{15}\right)\) = \(\dfrac{68}{27}\) - \(\dfrac{-1}{15}\) =
e. \(11\dfrac{1}{4}-\left(2\dfrac{7}{5}+5\dfrac{1}{4}\right)\) = \(11\dfrac{1}{4}\) - \(\dfrac{81}{20}\) = \(\dfrac{-13}{10}\)
g. \(\dfrac{7}{19}.\dfrac{8}{11}+\dfrac{7}{19}.\dfrac{3}{11}+\dfrac{12}{19}\) = \(\dfrac{7}{9}.\left(\dfrac{8}{11}+\dfrac{3}{11}\right)+\dfrac{12}{19}\) = \(\dfrac{7}{9}.1+\dfrac{12}{19}\) = \(\dfrac{7}{19}+\dfrac{12}{19}\) = \(1\)
