а) $$2\frac{1}{2} \cdot 1\frac{1}{5}-2\frac{2}{15}:2$$;
$$2\frac{1}{2} =\frac{2\cdot 2+1}{2}=\frac{5}{2}$$;
$$1\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1 \cdot 5 + 1}{5} = \frac{6}{5}$$;
$$2\frac{2}{15}=\frac{2\cdot 15 + 2}{15}=\frac{32}{15}$$.
$$\frac{5}{2} \cdot \frac{6}{5}=\frac{5 \cdot 6}{2\cdot 5}=\frac{30}{10}=3$$;
$$\frac{32}{15}:2=\frac{32}{15}:\frac{2}{1}=\frac{32}{15}\cdot \frac{1}{2}=\frac{32 \cdot 1}{15 \cdot 2}=\frac{32}{30}=\frac{16}{15}$$;
$$3-\frac{16}{15}=\frac{3}{1}-\frac{16}{15}=\frac{3 \cdot 15}{1 \cdot 15}-\frac{16}{15}=\frac{45}{15}-\frac{16}{15}=\frac{45-16}{15}=\frac{29}{15}=1\frac{14}{15}$$.
Ответ: $$1\frac{14}{15}$$
б) $$4\frac{3}{7} \cdot 8\frac{4}{9}-4\frac{3}{7} \cdot 6\frac{4}{9}$$.
$$4\frac{3}{7}=\frac{4 \cdot 7 + 3}{7}=\frac{31}{7}$$;
$$8\frac{4}{9}=\frac{8 \cdot 9 + 4}{9}=\frac{76}{9}$$;
$$6\frac{4}{9}=\frac{6 \cdot 9 + 4}{9}=\frac{58}{9}$$.
$$\frac{31}{7} \cdot \frac{76}{9}=\frac{31 \cdot 76}{7 \cdot 9}=\frac{2356}{63}$$;
$$\frac{31}{7} \cdot \frac{58}{9}=\frac{31 \cdot 58}{7 \cdot 9}=\frac{1798}{63}$$.
$$\frac{2356}{63}-\frac{1798}{63}=\frac{2356-1798}{63}=\frac{558}{63}=\frac{62}{7}=8\frac{6}{7}$$.
Ответ: $$8\frac{6}{7}$$
