You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Give them a common denominator, then see.
I'll do one, you do the others,
%2811%2F297%29%28432%2F432%29=4752%2F128304
%2816%2F432%29%28297%2F297%29=4752%2F128304
Can't put these in order, they are the same number.
Adding,
11%2F297%2B16%2F432=2%284752%2F128304%29=9504%2F128304=2%2F27
Subtracting,
11%2F297-16%2F432=0
