Answer

$36a^{\frac{1}{6}}$

Work Step by Step

Using the rule $a^{m}\times a^{n}=a^{m+n}$, we obtain: $9a^{\frac{1}{2}}\times 4a^{-\frac{1}{3}}$ $=(9\times4)\times(a^{\frac{1}{2}}\times a^{-\frac{1}{3}})$ $=36(a^{\frac{1}{2}+(-\frac{1}{3})})$ $=36a^{\frac{1(3)-1(2)}{6}}$ $=36a^{\frac{3-2}{6}}$ $=36a^{\frac{1}{6}}$
