Решение:
a) $$13\frac{8}{9} - 4 = (13 - 4) + \frac{8}{9} = 9 + \frac{8}{9} = 9\frac{8}{9}$$
б) $$17\frac{5}{14} - 5\frac{3}{14} = (17 - 5) + (\frac{5}{14} - \frac{3}{14}) = 12 + \frac{2}{14} = 12\frac{1}{7}$$
в) $$9\frac{5}{7} - 3\frac{6}{7} = (9 - 3) + (\frac{5}{7} - \frac{6}{7}) = 6 - \frac{1}{7} = 5\frac{7}{7} - \frac{1}{7} = 5\frac{6}{7}$$
г) $$100 - 20\frac{3}{14} = (100 - 20) - \frac{3}{14} = 80 - \frac{3}{14} = 79\frac{14}{14} - \frac{3}{14} = 79\frac{11}{14}$$
Ответ: a) $$9\frac{8}{9}$$; б) $$12\frac{1}{7}$$; в) $$5\frac{6}{7}$$; г) $$79\frac{11}{14}$$
