Here are the calculations for each problem, with answers in simplest form:

Part a· 4 steps

147+31211\frac{4}{7} + 3\frac{1}{21}

  1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    147=(1×7)+47=1171\frac{4}{7} = \frac{(1 \times 7) + 4}{7} = \frac{11}{7} 3121=(3×21)+121=64213\frac{1}{21} = \frac{(3 \times 21) + 1}{21} = \frac{64}{21}
  2. Find a common denominator.

    The least common denominator (LCD) for 7 and 21 is 21. Convert 117\frac{11}{7} to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 21.

    117=11×37×3=3321\frac{11}{7} = \frac{11 \times 3}{7 \times 3} = \frac{33}{21}
  3. Add the fractions.

    3321+6421=33+6421=9721\frac{33}{21} + \frac{64}{21} = \frac{33+64}{21} = \frac{97}{21}
  4. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number and simplify if possible.

    9721=41321\frac{97}{21} = 4\frac{13}{21}

    The fraction 1321\frac{13}{21} is already in simplest form.
    The answer is 41321\boxed{4\frac{13}{21}}

Part b

29142\frac{9}{14}

317−123\frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{2}

  1. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    317=(3×7)+17=2273\frac{1}{7} = \frac{(3 \times 7) + 1}{7} = \frac{22}{7}
  2. Find a common denominator.

    The LCD for 7 and 2 is 14. Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 14.

    227=22×27×2=4414\frac{22}{7} = \frac{22 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{44}{14} 12=1×72×7=714\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 7}{2 \times 7} = \frac{7}{14}
  3. Subtract the fractions.

    4414−714=44−714=3714\frac{44}{14} - \frac{7}{14} = \frac{44-7}{14} = \frac{37}{14}
  4. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number and simplify if possible.

    3714=2914\frac{37}{14} = 2\frac{9}{14}

    The fraction 914\frac{9}{14} is already in simplest form.
    The answer is 2914\boxed{2\frac{9}{14}}

Part c

367723\frac{67}{72}

259+1382\frac{5}{9} + 1\frac{3}{8}

  1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    259=(2×9)+59=2392\frac{5}{9} = \frac{(2 \times 9) + 5}{9} = \frac{23}{9} 138=(1×8)+38=1181\frac{3}{8} = \frac{(1 \times 8) + 3}{8} = \frac{11}{8}
  2. Find a common denominator.

    The LCD for 9 and 8 is 72. Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 72.

    239=23×89×8=18472\frac{23}{9} = \frac{23 \times 8}{9 \times 8} = \frac{184}{72} 118=11×98×9=9972\frac{11}{8} = \frac{11 \times 9}{8 \times 9} = \frac{99}{72}
  3. Add the fractions.

    18472+9972=184+9972=28372\frac{184}{72} + \frac{99}{72} = \frac{184+99}{72} = \frac{283}{72}
  4. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number and simplify if possible.

    28372=36772\frac{283}{72} = 3\frac{67}{72}

    The fraction 6772\frac{67}{72} is already in simplest form.
    The answer is 36772\boxed{3\frac{67}{72}}

Part d

27122\frac{7}{12}

513−2345\frac{1}{3} - 2\frac{3}{4}

  1. Convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    513=(5×3)+13=1635\frac{1}{3} = \frac{(5 \times 3) + 1}{3} = \frac{16}{3} 234=(2×4)+34=1142\frac{3}{4} = \frac{(2 \times 4) + 3}{4} = \frac{11}{4}
  2. Find a common denominator.

    The LCD for 3 and 4 is 12. Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 12.

    163=16×43×4=6412\frac{16}{3} = \frac{16 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{64}{12} 114=11×34×3=3312\frac{11}{4} = \frac{11 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{33}{12}
  3. Subtract the fractions.

    6412−3312=64−3312=3112\frac{64}{12} - \frac{33}{12} = \frac{64-33}{12} = \frac{31}{12}
  4. Convert the improper fraction back to a mixed number and simplify if possible.

    3112=2712\frac{31}{12} = 2\frac{7}{12}

    The fraction 712\frac{7}{12} is already in simplest form.
    The answer is 2712\boxed{2\frac{7}{12}}
