$=\frac{7}{8}$

Work Step by Step

$\frac{1}{3} \div (\frac{2}{3})(\frac{4}{5})-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{1}{3} \div \frac{8}{15}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{1}{3} \times \frac{15}{8}-\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{15}{24} -\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{2}$ $=\frac{15}{24} -\frac{6}{24}+\frac{12}{24}$ $=\frac{21}{24}$ $=\frac{7}{8}$
