Multiply numerators and denominators:
$$
\frac{7 \times 13}{3 \times 8} = \frac{91}{24}
$$
This is an improper fraction. Convert to mixed number:
$$
91 \div 24 = 3 \text{ remainder } 19 \Rightarrow 3\frac{19}{24}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{3\frac{19}{24}} $

Find the least common denominator (LCD) of 8 and 7: it's 56.
Convert both fractions:
$$
\frac{9}{8} = \frac{9 \times 7}{8 \times 7} = \frac{63}{56}, \quad \frac{5}{7} = \frac{5 \times 8}{7 \times 8} = \frac{40}{56}
$$
Add:
$$
\frac{63}{56} + \frac{40}{56} = \frac{103}{56}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
103 \div 56 = 1 \text{ remainder } 47 \Rightarrow 1\frac{47}{56}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{1\frac{47}{56}} $
---
Simplify $\frac{9}{3} = 3$
Now subtract:
$$
3 - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{18}{6} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{17}{6}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
17 \div 6 = 2 \text{ remainder } 5 \Rightarrow 2\frac{5}{6}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2\frac{5}{6}} $

Find LCD of 14 and 19: since they are coprime, LCD = $14 \times 19 = 266$
Convert:
$$
\frac{23}{14} = \frac{23 \times 19}{266} = \frac{437}{266}, \quad \frac{20}{19} = \frac{20 \times 14}{266} = \frac{280}{266}
$$
Add:
$$
\frac{437 + 280}{266} = \frac{717}{266}
$$
Check if reducible: GCF of 717 and 266?
Try dividing: 717 ÷ 266 ≈ 2.69 → not divisible evenly.
Check GCF:
717 ÷ 3 = 239 → 717 = 3 × 239
266 ÷ 2 = 133 → 266 = 2 × 7 × 19
No common factors → already simplified.
Convert to mixed number:
$$
717 \div 266 = 2 \text{ remainder } 185 \Rightarrow 2\frac{185}{266}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2\frac{185}{266}} $
---
Simplify $\frac{20}{5} = 4$
Now: $4 - \frac{15}{14} = \frac{56}{14} - \frac{15}{14} = \frac{41}{14}$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
41 \div 14 = 2 \text{ remainder } 13 \Rightarrow 2\frac{13}{14}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2\frac{13}{14}} $
---
Same denominator:
$$
\frac{5 + 26}{11} = \frac{31}{11}
$$
Convert:
$$
31 \div 11 = 2 \text{ remainder } 9 \Rightarrow 2\frac{9}{11}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2\frac{9}{11}} $
---
Multiply:
$$
\frac{1 \times 29}{7 \times 18} = \frac{29}{126}
$$
Check if reducible: 29 is prime, doesn't divide 126 → already simplified.
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{29}{126}} $
---
Dividing fractions: multiply by reciprocal:
$$
\frac{43}{19} \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{43 \times 3}{19 \times 2} = \frac{129}{38}
$$
Convert to mixed number:
$$
129 \div 38 = 3 \text{ remainder } 15 \Rightarrow 3\frac{15}{38}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{3\frac{15}{38}} $

LCD of 7 and 2 is 14.
Convert:
$$
\frac{37}{7} = \frac{37 \times 2}{14} = \frac{74}{14}, \quad \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 7}{14} = \frac{35}{14}
$$
Subtract:
$$
\frac{74 - 35}{14} = \frac{39}{14}
$$
Convert:
$$
39 \div 14 = 2 \text{ remainder } 11 \Rightarrow 2\frac{11}{14}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{2\frac{11}{14}} $
---
Same denominator:
$$
\frac{2 + 2}{5} = \frac{4}{5}
$$
✔ Answer: $ \boxed{\frac{4}{5}} $
