a: \(\dfrac{7}{4}-\dfrac{11}{8}+\dfrac{1}{2}\)
\(=\dfrac{14-11+4}{8}\)
\(=\dfrac{7}{8}\)
b: \(\dfrac{3}{16}+\dfrac{7}{30}\cdot\dfrac{40}{36}\)
\(=\dfrac{3}{16}+\dfrac{7}{36}\cdot\dfrac{40}{30}\)
\(=\dfrac{3}{16}+\dfrac{7}{36}\cdot\dfrac{4}{3}\)
\(=\dfrac{3}{16}+\dfrac{7}{27}=\dfrac{81+112}{432}=\dfrac{193}{432}\)
c: \(\left(\dfrac{9}{2}-\dfrac{15}{4}\right):\dfrac{21}{12}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{18}{4}-\dfrac{15}{4}\right):\dfrac{7}{4}\)
\(=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot\dfrac{4}{7}=\dfrac{3}{7}\)
