$\frac{5}{8}$. Parentheses require addition first, then multiplication by $\frac{1}{2}$, followed by adding $\frac{1}{8}$.

$84$. Parentheses dictate subtraction and addition first, then multiplication of the results.

$1$. Multiplication of fractions precedes subtraction, so compute $\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4}$ first, then subtract $\frac{1}{2}$.

$\frac{4}{5}$. Convert to tenths and perform addition followed by subtraction from left to right.

$2$. Division of fractions is multiplication by the reciprocal, performed before adding $\frac{1}{2}$.

$\frac{3}{2}$. Parentheses require subtraction first, then divide the result by $\frac{3}{2}$ via multiplication by its reciprocal.

$1$. Convert fractions to a common denominator of 6, then subtract and add from left to right.

$5$. Numerator subtraction precedes division, then add the result of the second division.

$6$. Parentheses require addition of fractions first, then multiplication by 12.

$30$. 'Of' indicates multiplication, so compute each product separately and add the results.
