\( \displaystyle a){4 \over 7}:\left( {{2 \over 5}.{4 \over 7}} \right) \)\(\displaystyle = {4 \over 7}:{8 \over {35}} = {4 \over 7}.{{35} \over 8} = {5 \over 2}\)
\( \displaystyle b){6 \over 7} + {5 \over 7}:5 - {8 \over 9} \)\(\displaystyle = {6 \over 7} + {5 \over 7}.{1 \over 5} - {8 \over 9} = {6 \over 7} + {1 \over 7} - {8 \over 9} \)
\( \displaystyle = 1 - {8 \over 9} = {1 \over 9}\)
