Решение:
e) $$2 \frac{1}{4} : 1 \frac{4}{11} - 3 \frac{7}{8} = \frac{9}{4} : \frac{15}{11} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{9}{4} \cdot \frac{11}{15} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{9 \cdot 11}{4 \cdot 15} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{3 \cdot 3 \cdot 11}{4 \cdot 3 \cdot 5} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{33}{20} - \frac{31}{8} = \frac{33 \cdot 2}{20 \cdot 2} - \frac{31 \cdot 5}{8 \cdot 5} = \frac{66}{40} - \frac{155}{40} = -\frac{89}{40} = -2 \frac{9}{40}$$
Ответ: $$-2 \frac{9}{40}$$
