To solve the first expression, we add the fractions:
5/8 + 7/8 - 1/8 = (5 + 7 - 1)/8 = 11/8
So, 5/8 + 7/8 - 1/8 = 11/8
Next, we simplify the second expression by subtracting the fractions within the parentheses first:
4/9 - 1/9 = 3/9 = 1/3
Then subtract this result from 5/9:
5/9 - 1/3 = (53 - 19) / (9*3) = (15 - 9) / 27 = 6/27 = 2/9
So, 5/9 - (4/9 - 1/9) = 2/9
To solve the first expression, we add the fractions:
5/8 + 7/8 - 1/8 = (5 + 7 - 1)/8 = 11/8
So, 5/8 + 7/8 - 1/8 = 11/8
