a)
\(\begin{array}{l}1\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{5}.\left[ {\left( { - 2\frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)} \right]\\ = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{5}.\left[ {\left( { - \frac{{17}}{6} + \frac{2}{6}} \right)} \right]\\ = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{5}.\frac{{ - 15}}{6}\\ = \frac{3}{2} + \frac{{ - 1}}{2}\\ = \frac{2}{2}\\=1\end{array}\)
b)
\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{3}.\left( {\frac{2}{5} - \frac{1}{2}} \right):{\left( {\frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{5}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{1}{3}.\left( {\frac{4}{{10}} - \frac{5}{{10}}} \right):{\left( {\frac{5}{{30}} - \frac{6}{{30}}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{1}{3}.\frac{{ - 1}}{{10}}:{\left( {\frac{{ - 1}}{{30}}} \right)^2}\\ = \frac{{ - 1}}{{30}}:\frac{1}{{{{30}^2}}}\\ = \frac{{ - 1}}{{30}}{.30^2}\\ = - 30\end{array}\)
