Let's solve each part of the question step-by-step:

### 4. [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{7} = 2 \frac{3}{a}\)[/tex]

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

[tex]\[ 2 \frac{1}{2} = 2 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{2} \][/tex]

Then add the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{5}{2} + \frac{2}{7} \][/tex]

To add these fractions, find a common denominator (which is 14 in this case):

[tex]\[ \frac{5}{2} = \frac{5 \times 7}{2 \times 7} = \frac{35}{14} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{2}{7} = \frac{2 \times 2}{7 \times 2} = \frac{4}{14} \][/tex]

Now add the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{35}{14} + \frac{4}{14} = \frac{39}{14} \][/tex]

Expressing it as a mixed number:

[tex]\[ 2 \frac{3}{a} = \frac{39}{14} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{39}{14} = 2 + \frac{11}{14} \][/tex]

Thus:

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{a} = \frac{11}{14} \][/tex]

By solving for [tex]\( a \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ a = \frac{3 \times 14}{11} = 3.818181818181819 \][/tex]

Result for 4. is:

[tex]\[ a = 3.818181818181819 \][/tex]

### 5. [tex]\(2 \frac{1}{3} - \frac{5}{12} \)[/tex]

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

[tex]\[ 2 \frac{1}{3} = 2 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{6}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{7}{3} \][/tex]

Then subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{7}{3} - \frac{5}{12} \][/tex]

Find a common denominator (which is 12 in this case):

[tex]\[ \frac{7}{3} = \frac{7 \times 4}{3 \times 4} = \frac{28}{12} \][/tex]

Now subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{28}{12} - \frac{5}{12} = \frac{23}{12} \][/tex]

Expressing it as a mixed number:

[tex]\[ \frac{23}{12} = 1 \frac{11}{12} \][/tex]

Result for 5. is:

[tex]\[ \frac{23}{12} = 1.9166666666666667 \][/tex]

### 6. [tex]\( \frac{5}{11} \div \frac{1}{2} \)[/tex]

Dividing fractions involves multiplying by the reciprocal:

[tex]\[ \frac{5}{11} \div \frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{11} \times \frac{2}{1} = \frac{5 \times 2}{11 \times 1} = \frac{10}{11} \][/tex]

Result for 6. is:

[tex]\[ \frac{10}{11} = 0.9090909090909091 \][/tex]

### 7. [tex]\( 4 \frac{7}{12} - \frac{3}{4} \)[/tex]

First, convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

[tex]\[ 4 \frac{7}{12} = 4 + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{48}{12} + \frac{7}{12} = \frac{55}{12} \][/tex]

Then subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{55}{12} - \frac{3}{4} \][/tex]

Find a common denominator (which is 12 in this case):

[tex]\[ \frac{3}{4} = \frac{3 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{9}{12} \][/tex]

Now subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{55}{12} - \frac{9}{12} = \frac{46}{12} \][/tex]

Expressing it as a mixed number:

[tex]\[ \frac{46}{12} = 3 \frac{10}{12} = 3 \frac{5}{6} \][/tex]

Result for 7. is:

[tex]\[ 3 \frac{10}{12} = 3.833333333333333 \][/tex]

### 8. [tex]\( 5 \frac{1}{4} - 1 \frac{7}{8} \)[/tex]

First, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:

[tex]\[ 5 \frac{1}{4} = 5 + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{20}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{21}{4} \][/tex]

[tex]\[ 1 \frac{7}{8} = 1 + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{8}{8} + \frac{7}{8} = \frac{15}{8} \][/tex]

Then subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{21}{4} - \frac{15}{8} \][/tex]

Find a common denominator (which is 8 in this case):

[tex]\[ \frac{21}{4} = \frac{21 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{42}{8} \][/tex]

Now subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{42}{8} - \frac{15}{8} = \frac{27}{8} \][/tex]

Expressing it as a mixed number:

[tex]\[ \frac{27}{8} = 3 \frac{3}{8} \][/tex]

Result for 8. is:

[tex]\[ 3 \frac{3}{8} = 3.375 \][/tex]

### 9. [tex]\( \frac{9}{13} - \frac{3}{7} \)[/tex]

First, subtract the fractions by finding a common denominator (which is 91 in this case):

[tex]\[ \frac{9}{13} = \frac{9 \times 7}{13 \times 7} = \frac{63}{91} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{7} = \frac{3 \times 13}{7 \times 13} = \frac{39}{91} \][/tex]

Now subtract the fractions:

[tex]\[ \frac{63}{91} - \frac{39}{91} = \frac{24}{91} \][/tex]

Result for 9. is:

[tex]\[ \frac{24}{91} = 0.26373626373626374 \][/tex]
