Answer:

3 3/22

Step-by-step explanation:

a) he subtracted 5 from a mixed fraction without converting it first

and for 1 1/2 - sign should be there

b) first convert mixed fraction and add the terms in the parentheses

c) 9 7/11 - (5 + 1 1/2)

= (9*11 + 7) / 11  - ( 5 + (1*2 + 1)/2 )

= 106/11  - (5 + 3/2)

= 106/11 - (5*2 + 3)/2

= 106/11 - 13/2

= lcm of 2 and 11 is 22

= (106*2 - 13*11) / 22

= (212 - 143) / 22

= 69/22

= 66 + 3 / 22

= 3 3/22
