The first thing we need to do is the math inside the parentheses:

(1 + 1/3) = 1 + 1/3 = 4/3

Next, we square the parentheses:

(4/3)² = 16/9

Now, all we need to do is subtract!

16/9 - 2/9 = 14/9

If you need to make it a proper fraction, your answer is 1 5/9, but if you leave it improper then 14/9.
