a) \(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{3}{4}.\dfrac{-6}{5}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{3.\left(-6\right)}{4.5}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{-18}{20}\)
\(=\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{9}{10}\)
\(=\dfrac{5}{10}+\dfrac{9}{10}\)
\(=\dfrac{5+9}{10}\)
\(=\dfrac{14}{10}\)
\(=\dfrac{7}{5}\)
b) \(\dfrac{\dfrac{1^0}{9}.3^2.9^3}{729}\)
\(=\dfrac{9^{-1}.3^2.9^3}{729}\)
\(=\dfrac{9^{-1}.9.9^3}{729}\)
\(=\dfrac{9^{-1+1+3}}{729}\)
\(=\dfrac{9^3}{729}\)
\(=\dfrac{729}{729}\)
\(=1\)
