a: \(2\dfrac{3}{5}+1\dfrac{2}{5}\cdot\dfrac{31}{2}\)
\(=\dfrac{13}{5}+\dfrac{7}{5}\cdot\dfrac{31}{2}\)
\(=\dfrac{26}{10}+\dfrac{217}{10}=\dfrac{243}{10}\)
b: \(4\dfrac{3}{4}-3\dfrac{2}{3}:1\dfrac{1}{6}\)
\(=\dfrac{19}{4}-\dfrac{11}{3}:\dfrac{7}{6}\)
\(=\dfrac{19}{4}-\dfrac{11}{3}\cdot\dfrac{6}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{19}{4}-\dfrac{22}{7}\)
\(=\dfrac{19\cdot7-22\cdot4}{28}=\dfrac{45}{28}\)
