Answer:

9

Explanation:

You want the least common denominator for the fraction in the sum ...

(2/3)² -1/3

Simplify

When the sum is simplified, it is ...

4/9 -1/3

The denominator 9 is a multiple of the denominator 3, so the least common denominator of these two fractions is 9.

__

Additional comment

Using that denominator, the sum is ...

4/9 -3/9 = 1/9
