a) $$54.8 - (1.6 + 2.15) = 54.8 - 3.75 = 51.05$$;
б) $$0.3 + \frac{2}{5} = 0.3 + 0.4 = 0.7$$;
в) $$\frac{5}{9} \div (\frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}) = \frac{5}{9} \div (\frac{3}{6} - \frac{2}{6}) = \frac{5}{9} \div \frac{1}{6} = \frac{5}{9} \cdot 6 = \frac{5}{3} \cdot 2 = \frac{10}{3} = 3\frac{1}{3}$$;
г) $$-5 + 14 - 20 = 9 - 20 = -11$$;
д) $$-3 \cdot (2.4 - 3.74) = -3 \cdot (-1.34) = 4.02$$.
