a) 3 2/7 - 2/5 + 5/7 - 3/5
= 3 + 2/7 - (2/5 + 3/5) + 5/7
= 3 + (2/7 + 5/7) - 1
= 3 + 1 - 1
= 3
b) 5 4/7 - 4/9 + 1 3/7 - 5/9
= 5 + 4/7 - 4/9 + 1 + 3/7 - 5/9
= (5 + 1) + (4/7 + 3/7) - (4/9 + 5/9)
= 6 + 1 - 1
= 6
a) \(3\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{3}{5}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{23}{7}+\dfrac{5}{7}\right)-\left(\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{3}{5}\right)\)
\(=4-1\)
\(=3\)
b) \(5\dfrac{4}{7}-\dfrac{4}{9}+1\dfrac{3}{7}-\dfrac{5}{9}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{32}{7}+\dfrac{10}{7}\right)-\left(\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{5}{9}\right)\)
\(=6-1\)
\(=5\)
a) \(3\dfrac{2}{7}-\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{5}{7}-\dfrac{3}{5}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{23}{7}+\dfrac{5}{7}\right)-\left(\dfrac{2}{5}+\dfrac{3}{5}\right)\)
\(=4-1\)
\(=3\)
b) \(5\dfrac{4}{7}-\dfrac{4}{9}+1\dfrac{3}{7}-\dfrac{5}{9}\)
\(=\left(\dfrac{39}{7}+\dfrac{10}{7}\right)-\left(\dfrac{4}{9}+\dfrac{5}{9}\right)\)
\(=7-1\)
\(=6\)
