Ответ:

  1. \(\frac{1}{5}+\frac{2}{15}=\frac{3}{15}+\frac{2}{15}=\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}\).

  2. \(\frac{3}{8}-\frac{1}{9}=\frac{27}{72}-\frac{8}{72}=\frac{19}{72}\).

  3. \(2\frac{1}{20}=\frac{41}{20}=\frac{82}{40}\), а \(6\frac{9}{40}=\frac{249}{40}\).

    \(\frac{82}{40}-\frac{249}{40}=-\frac{167}{40}=-4\frac{7}{40}\).

Ответ: а) \(\frac{1}{3}\); б) \(\frac{19}{72}\); в) \(-4\frac{7}{40}\).
