43/100 + 1/10 - 11/1000
7 29/60 + 10 12/13 + 24 2/17
24 divided 7 8/9
76 3/14 + 23 9/20
16 1/5 divided by 2 1/11 + 25 9/10 - 4 11/23

Problems should be posted one at a time. However, since I don't see others posted or abused by you, consider that as "information". Next time, please adhere to the rules. Otherwise, tutors may skip questions from you.

43/100 + 1/10 - 11/1000 = 430/1000 + 100/1000 -11/1000 = 530/1000 - 11/1000 = 519/1000

7 29/60 + 10 12/13 + 24 2/17 = 7 + 10 + 24 = 41 + ( 6409/13260 + 12240/13260 + 1560/13260) = 41 + 20209/13360 = 41 + 16849%2F13360 = 42.51265

24 divided 7 8/9 = approx. 24/3 so you know your answer is near 8. 24 / 71%2F9 = 24 * 9%2F71 = 216%2F71 = 3.04225

76 3/14 + 23 9/20 = 76+23=99 + (60%2F280+126%2F280) = 99186%2F280= 99.6643

16 1/5 divided by 2 1/11 + 25 9/10 - 4 11/23 (I'm assuming that 16.2 is the numerator and the others are the denominator.)
211%2F20+259%2F10-411%2F23 = 23+(253%2F460+414%2F460-220%2F460) = 23447%2F460
