(1)/(3) +6((2)/(3) - (1)/(6))^2

first we simplify the parenthesis

To simplify the fractions inside the parenthesis , we make the denominators same


(1)/(3) +6((2*2)/(3*2) - (1)/(6))^2


(1)/(3) +6((4)/(6) - (1)/(6))^2


(1)/(3) +6((3)/(6))^2

Simplify the fraction 3/6


(1)/(3) +6((1)/(2))^2

Now we square 1/2


(1)/(3) +6((1)/(4))

Multiply 6 inside the parenthesis


(1)/(3) +(6)/(4)


(1)/(3) +(3)/(2)

Now make the denominators same to add fractions


(1*2)/(3*2) +(3*3)/(2*3)


(2)/(6) +(9)/(6)


(11)/(6)

To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

1- Solve the substraction in the parenthesis and square it:


(1)/(3)+6((1)/(2))^2\\(1)/(3)+6((1)/(4))

2- Apply the distributive property and solve the addition:


(1)/(3)+(6)/(4)\=(11)/(6)

The answer is:
(11)/(6)
