a) $$13\frac{8}{9}-4$$
$$13\frac{8}{9} - 4 = 9\frac{8}{9}$$
б) $$17\frac{5}{14}-5\frac{3}{14}$$
$$17\frac{5}{14}-5\frac{3}{14} = (17 - 5) + (\frac{5}{14} - \frac{3}{14}) = 12 + \frac{2}{14} = 12\frac{1}{7}$$
в) $$9\frac{5}{7}-3\frac{6}{7}$$
$$9\frac{5}{7}-3\frac{6}{7} = 8\frac{12}{7} - 3\frac{6}{7} = (8-3) + (\frac{12}{7} - \frac{6}{7}) = 5 + \frac{6}{7} = 5\frac{6}{7}$$
Ответ: a) $$9\frac{8}{9}$$; б) $$12\frac{1}{7}$$; в) $$5\frac{6}{7}$$
