a) ( 2/5 + 7/9 ) + 3/5
= ( 2/5 + 3/5 ) + 7/9
= 1 + 7/9
= 16/9
b) 3/4 + 2/7 + 1/4 + 3/5 + 5/7
= ( 3/4 + 1/4 ) + ( 2/7 + 5/7 ) + 1/4
= 1 + 1 + 1/4
= 9/4
c) 75/100 - 18/21 + 1/4 - 3/21
= 3/4 - 6/7 + 1/4 - 1/7
= ( 3/4 + 1/4 ) - ( 6/7 + 1/7 )
= 1 -1
= 0
d) 7/11 : 3/5 + 4/11 : 3/5
= ( 7/11 + 4/11 ) : 3/5
= 1 : 3/5
= 5/3
