a: \(\dfrac{8}{18}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{5}{3}=\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{15}{9}=\dfrac{4+15}{9}=\dfrac{19}{9}\)
b: \(\dfrac{8}{24}+\dfrac{4}{48}=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{4}{12}+\dfrac{1}{12}=\dfrac{4+1}{12}=\dfrac{5}{12}\)
c: \(\dfrac{20}{15}-\dfrac{4}{45}=\dfrac{4}{3}-\dfrac{4}{45}=\dfrac{60}{45}-\dfrac{4}{45}=\dfrac{60-4}{45}=\dfrac{56}{45}\)
d: \(\dfrac{40}{32}-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5}{4}-\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{5-2}{4}=\dfrac{3}{4}\)
