a: \(\dfrac{5}{7}=\dfrac{5\cdot11}{7\cdot11}=\dfrac{55}{77}\)
\(\dfrac{9}{11}=\dfrac{9\cdot7}{11\cdot7}=\dfrac{63}{77}\)
b: \(\dfrac{36}{42}=\dfrac{6}{7}=\dfrac{6\cdot9}{7\cdot9}=\dfrac{54}{63}\)
\(-\dfrac{12}{54}=\dfrac{-2}{9}=\dfrac{-2\cdot7}{9\cdot7}=-\dfrac{14}{63}\)
c: \(\dfrac{-11}{30}=\dfrac{-11\cdot4}{30\cdot4}=\dfrac{-44}{120}\)
\(\dfrac{-17}{-40}=\dfrac{17}{40}=\dfrac{17\cdot3}{40\cdot3}=\dfrac{51}{120}\)
d: \(\dfrac{36}{42}=\dfrac{6}{7}=\dfrac{6\cdot3}{7\cdot3}=\dfrac{18}{21}\)
\(\dfrac{-12}{36}=\dfrac{-1}{3}=\dfrac{-1\cdot7}{3\cdot7}=\dfrac{-7}{21}\)
