Here are the solutions to the problems.

1. Write down the reciprocal of

  • (i) 67\frac{6}{7} The reciprocal of a fraction ab\frac{a}{b} is ba\frac{b}{a}.

    Reciprocal of 67=76\text{Reciprocal of } \frac{6}{7} = \boxed{\frac{7}{6}}
  • (ii) 9 The reciprocal of a number xx is 1x\frac{1}{x}.

    Reciprocal of 9=19\text{Reciprocal of } 9 = \boxed{\frac{1}{9}}
  • (iii) 114\frac{1}{14}

    Reciprocal of 114=141=14\text{Reciprocal of } \frac{1}{14} = \frac{14}{1} = \boxed{14}
  • (iv) 123512\frac{3}{5} First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    1235=12×5+35=60+35=63512\frac{3}{5} = \frac{12 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{60 + 3}{5} = \frac{63}{5}

    Now, find the reciprocal.

    Reciprocal of 635=563\text{Reciprocal of } \frac{63}{5} = \boxed{\frac{5}{63}}

2. Simplify.

  • (i) 47+914\frac{4}{7} + \frac{9}{14}
  1. Find a common denominator, which is 14.

    $$
    \frac{4}{7} = \frac{4 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{8}{14}
    $$
    
  2. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{8}{14} + \frac{9}{14} = \frac{8+9}{14} = \boxed{\frac{17}{14}}
    $$
    
    • (ii) 710+35\frac{7}{10} + \frac{3}{5}
  3. Find a common denominator, which is 10.

    $$
    \frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{6}{10}
    $$
    
  4. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{7}{10} + \frac{6}{10} = \frac{7+6}{10} = \boxed{\frac{13}{10}}
    $$
    
    • (iii) 89+16\frac{8}{9} + 16
  5. Write 16 as a fraction with denominator 9.

    $$
    16 = \frac{16 \times 9}{9} = \frac{144}{9}
    $$
    
  6. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{8}{9} + \frac{144}{9} = \frac{8+144}{9} = \boxed{\frac{152}{9}}
    $$
    
    • (iv) 9+139 + \frac{1}{3}
  7. Write 9 as a fraction with denominator 3.

    $$
    9 = \frac{9 \times 3}{3} = \frac{27}{3}
    $$
    
  8. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{27}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{27+1}{3} = \boxed{\frac{28}{3}}
    $$
    
    • (v) 24÷6724 \div \frac{6}{7}
  9. To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    $$
    24 \div \frac{6}{7} = 24 \times \frac{7}{6}
    $$
    
  10. Perform the multiplication.

    $$
    24 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{24}{6} \times 7 = 4 \times 7 = \boxed{28}
    $$
    
    • (vi) 335+453\frac{3}{5} + \frac{4}{5}
  11. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    $$
    3\frac{3}{5} = \frac{3 \times 5 + 3}{5} = \frac{15+3}{5} = \frac{18}{5}
    $$
    
  12. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{18}{5} + \frac{4}{5} = \frac{18+4}{5} = \boxed{\frac{22}{5}}
    $$
    
    • (vii) 337+8213\frac{3}{7} + \frac{8}{21}
  13. Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.

    $$
    3\frac{3}{7} = \frac{3 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{21+3}{7} = \frac{24}{7}
    $$
    
  14. Find a common denominator, which is 21.

    $$
    \frac{24}{7} = \frac{24 \times 3}{7 \times 3} = \frac{72}{21}
    $$
    
  15. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{72}{21} + \frac{8}{21} = \frac{72+8}{21} = \boxed{\frac{80}{21}}

    • (viii) 547+13105\frac{4}{7} + 1\frac{3}{10}
  16. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    $$
    5\frac{4}{7} = \frac{5 \times 7 + 4}{7} = \frac{35+4}{7} = \frac{39}{7}
    $$
    $$
    1\frac{3}{10} = \frac{1 \times 10 + 3}{10} = \frac{10+3}{10} = \frac{13}{10}
    $$
    
  17. Find a common denominator for 7 and 10, which is 70.

    $$
    \frac{39}{7} = \frac{39 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = \frac{390}{70}
    $$
    $$
    \frac{13}{10} = \frac{13 \times 7}{10 \times 7} = \frac{91}{70}
    $$
    
  18. Add the fractions.

    $$
    \frac{390}{70} + \frac{91}{70} = \frac{390+91}{70} = \boxed{\frac{481}{70}}
    $$
    
    • (ix) 1537÷1234915\frac{3}{7} \div 1\frac{23}{49}
  19. Convert mixed numbers to improper fractions.

    $$
    15\frac{3}{7} = \frac{15 \times 7 + 3}{7} = \frac{105+3}{7} = \frac{108}{7}
    $$
    $$
    1\frac{23}{49} = \frac{1 \times 49 + 23}{49} = \frac{49+23}{49} = \frac{72}{49}
    $$
    
  20. To divide by a fraction, multiply by its reciprocal.

    $$
    \frac{108}{7} \div \frac{72}{49} = \frac{108}{7} \times \frac{49}{72}
    $$
    
  21. Simplify by canceling common factors.

    $$
    \frac{108}{7} \times \frac{49}{72} = \frac{108}{72} \times \frac{49}{7} = \frac{3 \times 36}{2 \times 36} \times \frac{7 \times 7}{7} = \frac{3}{2} \times 7 = \frac{21}{2}
    $$
    $$
