2/5 + 3/4 - 4/7 = 23/20 - 4/7 = 81/140
7/9 : 2/3 x 5/4 = 7/6 x 5/4 = 35/24
4/5 x (7/10 - 1/2) = 4/5 x 1/5 = 4/25
a) \(\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{4}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{56}{140}+\dfrac{105}{140}-\dfrac{80}{140}\)
\(=\dfrac{56+105-80}{140}\)
\(=\dfrac{81}{140}\)
b) \(\dfrac{7}{9}:\dfrac{2}{3}\times\dfrac{5}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{7}{9}\times\dfrac{3}{2}\times\dfrac{5}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{7\times3\times5}{9\times2\times4}\)
\(=\dfrac{35}{24}\)
c) \(\dfrac{4}{5}\times\left(\dfrac{7}{10}-\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{4}{5}\times\left(\dfrac{7}{10}-\dfrac{5}{10}\right)\)
\(=\dfrac{4}{5}\times\dfrac{1}{5}\)
\(=\dfrac{4}{25}\)
