Ответ:

Решение:

  1. \( \frac{5}{14} + \frac{17}{42} = \frac{5 \cdot 3}{14 \cdot 3} + \frac{17}{42} = \frac{15}{42} + \frac{17}{42} = \frac{32}{42} = \frac{16}{21} \)
  2. \( \frac{16}{21} \cdot \frac{6}{8} = \frac{16 \cdot 6}{21 \cdot 8} = \frac{2 \cdot 1}{7 \cdot 1} = \frac{2}{7} \)

Ответ: \( \frac{2}{7} \)
