Thực hiện phép tính (tính hợp lí nếu có thể): a) -5/8. -12/29 . 8/-10 .2,9

a) \(\frac{{ - 5}}{8} \cdot \frac{{ - 12}}{{29}} \cdot \frac{8}{{ - 10}} \cdot 2,9\)

\( = \frac{{ - 5}}{8} \cdot \frac{{ - 6 \cdot 2}}{{29}} \cdot \frac{8}{{ - 5 \cdot 2}} \cdot \frac{{29}}{{10}}\)

\( = \frac{{ - 6}}{{10}} =  - \frac{3}{5}.\)

b) \[\left( { - 12,5} \right) + 17,55 + \left( { - 3,5} \right) - \left( { - 2,45} \right)\]

\[ = \left[ {\left( { - 12,5} \right) + \left( { - 3,5} \right)} \right] + \left[ {17,55 - \left( { - 2,45} \right)} \right]\]

\[ = \left( { - 16} \right) + \left[ {17,55 + 2,45} \right]\]

\[ = \left( { - 16} \right) + 20\]

\[ = 4.\]

c) \[19\frac{5}{8}:\frac{7}{{12}} - 15\frac{1}{4}:\frac{7}{{12}}\]

\[ = \frac{{157}}{8} \cdot \frac{{12}}{7} - \frac{{61}}{4} \cdot \frac{{12}}{7}\]

\[ = \left( {\frac{{157}}{8} - \frac{{61}}{4}} \right) \cdot \frac{{12}}{7}\]

\[ = \frac{{35}}{8} \cdot \frac{{12}}{7} = \frac{{15}}{2}.\]d) \(\left( {\frac{5}{7} \cdot 0,6 - 5:3\frac{1}{2}} \right) \cdot \left( {40\%  - 1,4} \right) \cdot {\left( { - \frac{2}{3}} \right)^3}\)

\( = \left( {\frac{5}{7} \cdot \frac{3}{5} - 5:\frac{7}{2}} \right) \cdot \left( {\frac{2}{5} - \frac{7}{5}} \right) \cdot \left( { - \frac{8}{{27}}} \right)\)

\( = \left( {\frac{3}{7} - \frac{{10}}{7}} \right) \cdot \left( { - 1} \right) \cdot \left( { - \frac{8}{{27}}} \right)\)

\( = \left( { - 1} \right) \cdot \left( { - 1} \right) \cdot \left( { - \frac{8}{{27}}} \right)\)

\( = 1 \cdot \left( { - \frac{8}{{27}}} \right)\)

\( =  - \frac{8}{{27}}.\)
