1/3 + 1/5 - 1/4 = 17/60
7/8 - (1/4 + 2/5) = 9/40
5/11 - (3/5 - 6/11) = 2/5
a) \(\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{5}-\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{20}{60}+\dfrac{12}{60}-\dfrac{15}{60}=\dfrac{32}{60}-\dfrac{15}{60}=\dfrac{17}{60}\)
b) \(\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{2}{5}\right)=\dfrac{7}{8}-\left(\dfrac{5}{20}+\dfrac{8}{20}\right)=\dfrac{7}{8}-\dfrac{13}{20}=\dfrac{35}{40}-\dfrac{26}{40}=\dfrac{9}{40}\)
c) \(\dfrac{5}{11}-\left(\dfrac{3}{5}-\dfrac{6}{11}\right)=\dfrac{5}{11}-\left(\dfrac{33}{55}-\dfrac{30}{55}\right)=\dfrac{5}{11}-\dfrac{3}{55}=\dfrac{25}{55}-\dfrac{3}{55}=\dfrac{22}{55}=\dfrac{2}{5}\)
