Problem 1: $\boldsymbol{\frac{4}{5} + \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{4}}$
Step 1: Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 5, 2, and 4.
The LCD of 5, 2, and 4 is 20.
Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD.
$\frac{4}{5} = \frac{4 \times 4}{5 \times 4} = \frac{16}{20}$, $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1 \times 10}{2 \times 10} = \frac{10}{20}$, $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{15}{20}$
Step 3: Perform the operations.
$\frac{16}{20} + \frac{10}{20} - \frac{15}{20} = \frac{16 + 10 - 15}{20} = \frac{11}{20}$
Step 1: Find the LCD of 18, 9, and 6.
The LCD of 18, 9, and 6 is 18.
Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD.
$\frac{2}{9} = \frac{2 \times 2}{9 \times 2} = \frac{4}{18}$, $\frac{1}{6} = \frac{1 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{3}{18}$
Step 3: Perform the operations.
$\frac{25}{18} - \frac{4}{18} - \frac{3}{18} = \frac{25 - 4 - 3}{18} = \frac{18}{18} = 1$
Step 1: Find the LCD of 3, 9, and 12.
The LCD of 3, 9, and 12 is 36.
Step 2: Rewrite each fraction with the LCD.
$\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 12}{3 \times 12} = \frac{24}{36}$, $\frac{5}{9} = \frac{5 \times 4}{9 \times 4} = \frac{20}{36}$, $\frac{11}{12} = \frac{11 \times 3}{12 \times 3} = \frac{33}{36}$
Step 3: Perform the operations.
$\frac{24}{36} - \frac{20}{36} + \frac{33}{36} = \frac{24 - 20 + 33}{36} = \frac{37}{36} = 1\frac{1}{36}$
