v

a) \((1 - \frac{1}{2}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{3}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{4}) \times ... \times (1 - \frac{1}{9})\)

\( = (1 - \frac{1}{2}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{3}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{4}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{5}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{6}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{7}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{8}) \times (1 - \frac{1}{9})\)

\( = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{4}{5} \times \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{6}{7} \times \frac{7}{8} \times \frac{8}{9} \times \frac{9}{{10}}\)

\( = \frac{1}{{10}}\)

b) \(1\frac{1}{2} \times 1\frac{1}{3} \times 1\frac{1}{4} \times ... \times 1\frac{1}{9}\)

\( = 1\frac{1}{2} \times 1\frac{1}{3} \times 1\frac{1}{4} \times 1\frac{1}{5} \times 1\frac{1}{6} \times 1\frac{1}{7} \times 1\frac{1}{8} \times 1\frac{1}{9}\)

\( = \frac{3}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{5}{4} \times \frac{6}{5} \times \frac{7}{6} \times \frac{8}{7} \times \frac{9}{8} \times \frac{{10}}{9}\)

\( = \frac{{10}}{2}\)

\( = 5\)
