a) `2 . 3/7 + ( 2/9 - 1 3/7) - 5/3 : 1/9`
`= 6/7 + ( 2/9 - 10/7)- 5/3 . 9`
`= 6/7 + (14/63 - 90/63) - 15`
`= 6/7 + (-76/63) - 15`
`= 54/63 + (-76/63) - 15`
`=-22/63 -15`
`=-967/63`
b) `(1/2)^5 : 3 1/8 - 75% ( - 5 1/9)`
`= 1/32 : 25/8- 3/4 . (-46/9)`
`= 1/32 . 8/25 - (-23/6)`
`= 1/100 + 23/6`
`= 1153/300`
